What is the Procedure of Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck involves the removal of excess fat and skin from the patient’s abdomen. Using the state-of-the-art liposuction technology at RG Aesthetics, we remove excess fat. Then the excess skin is measured, removed and sutured back so that it is tucked away. The measuring is done by pulling down the excess skin from the upper abdomen over the newly flat muscle structure.
This procedure has excellent results that are long-lasting and look very natural. Therefore, they are very desirable, especially in people who would like to see immediate differences in body type. It can also correct the divarication of recti muscles, which is one of the side effects of multiple pregnancies.
Recovery After Tummy Tuck Surgery?
- Outpatient procedure
- You may have some swelling, bruising & discomfort in the first 24-48 hours. This is only temporary and diminishes as the recovery proceeds.
- You can start your daily routine work from next day after the surgery and can go for a walk etc.
- If you are on a desk job, you will be able to return to work 3 days post-op.
- Avoid sudden movements, lifting weights, etc., for approximately two week.
- Use compression garment for minimum 4 weeks after the surgery for the breasts to maintain the contours achieved immediately after the surgery.
- By one month, bruising, discomfort and most swelling will disappear and you will feel “back to normal”.
- And by 6-8 weeks, you can begin all types of physical activities, but only after the consent of your surgeon.
