Breast augmentation and tummy tuck

A tummy tuck, also called tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure intended to produce a flatter, more pleasing abdomen. This is achieved by removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen and by tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.

This procedure can take place in a surgical center, office or hospital, and usually involves the use of either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. The procedure can take anywhere from two to five hours to complete.

The surgeon will begin by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with another incision which frees the bellybutton from its tissue. The skin is then separated and lifted to reveal the vertical muscles of the abdomen which are then tightened. The skin flap is then pulled back and the excess skin cut away. The bellybutton is stitched into place after having a new hole cut for it, then the incisions are closed.

After the procedure, most patients are able to return to work within two to four weeks, though more strenuous activities should be held off on for four to six weeks. Potential risks and complications associated with tummy tuck surgery are as follows: bleeding under the skin flap, blood clots, conspicuous scarring, infection, poor healing, skin loss, and the need for additional surgery.
