An incision is made across the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area, during the tummy tuck procedure. The amount of extra skin and fat that needs to be removed determines how long the incision will be. The process entails:
A horizontal incision is made, and the extent of the incision is customized based on the requirement and need.
The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and repaired, creating a firmer abdominal wall.
Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is pulled tight to get it properly looked.
The incision is then carefully closed with sutures, and a temporary drainage tube may be placed to remove excess fluid which is only for a short period.
To achieve the best results, liposuction is frequently combined with targeted fat areas to ensure the perfect and desirable results.
It takes time and patience to recover from a tummy tuck surgery. A patient may go through some swelling and discomfort, that can easily get treated with the prescribed medicines. Most people can return to work and light activities within 2-3 weeks, although it is advised and suggested to avoid lifting heavy equipment or performing any activity including exercise for at least 6-8 weeks. During the whole recovery period, Dr. Afaq himself provides guidelines and detailed post-operative care instructions to get the patient to recover easily and promptly.
