Stomach abdominoplasty: Aesthetic surgery Royal✓

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. Additionally, it addresses abdominal muscles that may have separated, often due to pregnancy, by reattaching and strengthening them. The result is a flat, firm, and toned stomach that complements the body's natural proportions. This procedure is increasingly popular because it offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, especially when combined with liposuction.

When is it Time for Abdominoplasty?

There are certain situations where diet, exercise, and supplements may not effectively eliminate excess skin or restore abdominal muscles. This usually occurs in the following cases:

• Women after multiple pregnancies, particularly those delivered via cesarean section, where abdominal muscle separation (diastasis) has occurred.
• Individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery or various diets (e.g., chronic dieting, ketogenic diets).
• Patients with a genetic predisposition for a looser abdominal wall or skin with low tone.
• Those who are dissatisfied with their stomach's appearance due to aging and loss of skin elasticity.

It’s important to note that abdominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure; rather, it focuses on body reshaping. Candidates should have a stable body weight and be in good overall health. Pregnancy after the procedure is possible, but it is generally recommended to wait until no further children are planned to maintain the results.

What Does Abdominoplasty Surgery Involve?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours. The specifics of the procedure depend on the patient's anatomy and the extent of the surgery required.

A standard abdominoplasty generally includes the following steps:

• Making an incision in the lower abdomen, just below the panty line, to remove excess skin and fat.
• Tightening and reattaching the abdominal muscles if they have separated.
• Moving the navel if necessary.
• Closing the skin with carefully placed stitches to ensure the scar is as discreet as possible.

For patients who do not require a large incision, a mini abdominoplasty is an option, which focuses on correcting only the lower part of the abdomen, below the navel. In cases where there is excess skin on the sides (often seen after significant weight loss), an extended abdominoplasty is performed, which also addresses the side areas of the torso.

Results become visible after a few weeks as swelling subsides, but the full effect is typically observed after 3 to 6 months.

Recovery Period: What to Expect

The first few days following surgery require rest and the wearing of an elastic corset. Patients usually spend one night in the clinic and then return home with clear post-operative instructions.

Key points during recovery include:

• Wearing the brace continuously for 4 to 6 weeks.
• Limiting physical activity for the first month, although light walking is encouraged after 2 to 3 days.
• Expecting some swelling, bruising, and tightness, which will gradually decrease.
  - Sutures will be removed in 10 to 14 days, unless they are self-dissolving.

At our clinic, all follow-up appointments and post-operative care are included in the cost of the procedure. We closely monitor patients during recovery to promote optimal healing and the best aesthetic results.

Are Results Permanent?

Yes. With a healthy lifestyle, stable body weight, and regular physical activity, the results of abdominoplasty can last for years, often for a lifetime. Scars will fade over time, and with proper care, they can become nearly invisible. For those who do not plan to have more pregnancies, the effects of the surgery remain unchanged.

Many patients report that not only has their stomach changed, but their overall sense of well-being has improved. They often find that clothes fit better, posture is enhanced, and confidence levels significantly increase.
