Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery?
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles. It is commonly performed after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging to address loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened muscles. The procedure enhances the abdomen’s appearance, providing a firmer and flatter contour.
What is the recovery time for a tummy tuck?
Recovery time typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. Patients may experience swelling and discomfort, but most return to normal activities within 6 weeks.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are generally permanent. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial to prevent changes in the abdominal area.
Will there be visible scarring?
Some scarring is inevitable, but it is typically placed in a low-visibility area, such as the bikini line. Scarring often fades significantly over time.
What follow-up care will be needed?
After abdominoplasty surgery, follow-up care includes keeping the area clean, managing pain, and avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks. A compression garment may be worn to reduce swelling, and follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor healing. Maintaining a healthy diet and hydration also supports recovery. Following your surgeon’s instructions ensures the best results.
