A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a procedure that results in a firmer and smoother stomach. It is beneficial to people who don't like the shape of their stomach after they have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose skin.
Reshaping the abdomen area is a very popular and well-practiced procedure. During the surgery they remove the excess skin, fat and stretch marks to tighten the appearance of the stomach area. The underlying tendons and muscles can also be repaired during this procedure to show a firmer, tighter stomach.
There are two types of abdominoplasty available, a full tummy tuck or a partial (mini) tummy tuck, and at your free consultation, you can discuss which one is right for you.
During your tummy tuck surgery, your overall silhouette is improved and your stomach is completely reshaped. The procedure can be used to remove loose and sagging skin as a result of significant weight loss.
The surgery may also involve repairing and retightening weak stomach muscles. The results will be a flatter, tighter stomach overall, which allows you to wear slim-fitting tops more confidently. Many people say that their overall self-esteem has increased after having abdominoplasty surgery.
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
For a tummy tuck, you will be left with a scar running across your lower abdomen and, if you require a full abdominoplasty, a scar around your belly button. Scarring will be red and raised post-surgery but can be expected to start fading after around six weeks. After the procedure, you may have the sensation that your tummy is being pulled when you stand up, but this will improve after time. Pain and bruising are to be expected after the surgery, but there is also a risk of bleeding, numbness and infection.
A tummy tuck can be the right option for lots of men, but should not be seen as a weight loss procedure and is not a substitute for eating healthily and exercising regularly.
The surgery has the best results if you are already at a healthy, manageable weight, so that it is easier for you to maintain the results achieved after surgery.
