With age or pregnancies, diet and exercise are often not enough to have the flat stomach you desire.
An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck (plastic surgery on the abdominal region) surgically eliminates loose skin, persistent fat around the stomach (which cannot be shed by dieting) and even tightens muscles around the abdominal wall.
Thus you can get a flatter profile that will give you a thinner silhouette, enabling you to wear all the clothes you’d like to without any worry.
Abdominoplasty is a very popular surgery that can even improve the appearance of your stretch marks.

Before your abdominoplasty:
Before your abdominoplasty, it’s best to stop smoking for several weeks and to continue abstention post-surgery to permit the healing process to continue unhampered.
Avoid certain medications, according to your doctor’s instructions. It is therefore necessary to disclose to your surgeon all medications that you are taking or treatments that you are undergoing. You can do this on our website when you fill out your request for a quote, or in our customer service section.
In addition to your online consultation before your arrival, you will have a private consultation with your surgeon before the surgery.
Our surgeon will conduct a careful, comprehensive consultation with you to evaluate your physical and emotional health, discuss your aesthetic goals, answer your questions and calm your concerns about your abdominal plastic surgery. This will enable your surgeon to tailor a surgical plan specific to your wants and needs.
During this pre-operation consultation, your surgeon will address the following matters:
- Your past and present medical condition
- Your present medications and treatments, including nutritional supplements and herbal remedies
- Your previous surgeries, including Caesarean sections
- Your weight loss history and current goals
As part of your first exam, the surgeon will also evaluate:
- The quality and elasticity of your abdominal skin
- The condition of your underlying abdominal muscles
- The amount of excess fat in your abdominal region
- The location of previous scars
For men and women who have only moderate problems to fix, the surgeon may suggest options other than an abdominoplasty, such as liposuction or a mini-abdominoplasty.
A Step-by-Step Guide to an Abdominoplasty :
Tummy tuck procedure steps
The surgeon usually begins with a horizontal incision above the pubis area.
When possible, this incision is restricted to an area that can be covered by a bikini bottom, to avoid any embarrassment at the beach.
The length of the incision depends on the amount of excess skin that will be removed.
Liposuction is then performed in the abdominal area to remove all excess fat.
Then, the skin in the abdominal area is carefully lowered back onto the body as any excess is removed.
Working through the first incision, the surgeon can retighten abdominal muscles and, if necessary, pull them together and sew them in place. He will also remove any excess skin in the lower stomach region. Though it’s not always possible to remove all excess skin, stretch marks often disappear as a result of this step.
When a complete abdominoplasty is done, a new incision is made at the belly button. The belly button may be slightly repositioned into an appropriate spot as a result of the surgery, and its appearance may be marginally modified.
Immediately after the surgery, drainage tubes may be placed under the skin to avoid any undue accumulation of fluids. Even though you will feel some pain, it will often be effectively controlled by pain medication that you will receive.
Bandages will be applied to your abdomen and may be covered with tape or an elastic bandage.
You will be given a compression sheath that you will need to wear after the operation.

Anesthesia:
General
Abdominoplasty scarring:
A horizontal scar above the pubic area. This scar will be limited to an area covered by a bikini bottom to avoid any embarrassment at the beach.
Post-Operation Recovery Period:
Tummy tuck expectations
For an abdominoplasty, expect a two-day stay at the clinic followed by four days of recovery at the hotel.
To help with blood circulation, you will be encouraged to get up and move around as soon as you awaken after the surgery. However, you must avoid bending over and lifting anything at this stage of recovery. It is recommended that you sleep on your back with your knees elevated for a few weeks after the surgery.
Given that each person heals at a different rate, your recovery after an abdominoplasty should be like this:
First 7-10 days:
- Swelling and bruising will be at their peak
After several weeks:
- You can take off your compression sheath after 3-6 weeks, according to your surgeon’s instructions
- Exercise and other activities can be resumed gradually
- Light work can be resumed
- Bruising and swelling will continue to recede
- You will begin to see the positive results of your surgery
After 6-8 months:
- The final results of your surgery will be apparent
- All bruises and swelling subsided
- Sense of feeling in the affected area will slowly improve
- Scarring will begin to fade
After the abdominoplasty, the patient will have a flatter, thinner stomach. Scarring is permanent but will fade with time.
The results you should expect from an abdominoplasty:
A short time after your abdominoplasty, you should notice an improvement of your abdomen’s shape.
As you heal and your bruising diminishes, a firmer, smoother silhouette will emerge. Many patients who have undergone an abdominoplasty report that they also feel better in their own skin and have more self-confidence.
Even though the scarring from your abdominoplasty is permanent, it is usually easy to hide with undergarments, and it will fade considerably with time.
Generally, you can expect lasting results from your abdominoplasty surgery. If you are able to maintain a stable weight, you can expect to keep your new silhouette for many years to come.
Gravity, aging and weight fluctuation can lead to loosening of your abdominal skin. If this occurs, another minor surgical treatment can be done to restore your stomach’s improved appearance.
Other considerations:
Because pregnancy and other instances of weight fluctuation can spoil the results of your abdominoplasty, many women delay undergoing an abdominoplasty until after they plan to stop having children.
Previous abdominal scarring from earlier surgeries can also affect the results of your abdominoplasty. In certain cases, as with scars from
Caesarian sections, the new incisions can be made below existing scars, which can then become hidden as a result of your abdominoplasty, for an improved look
