A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. It’s an excellent choice for achieving a flat stomach after diet and exercise have failed to provide desirable outcomes.
Full tummy tuck: The full tummy tuck procedure consists of cuts from the hip bone to the hip bone and also close to the belly button. It addresses fat accumulation in the lower and upper abdomen. It also changes the position of the belly button based on need.
Mini tummy tuck: The procedure involves focusing on smaller problem areas. The incisions are fewer in this case, so the belly button does not move.
Circumferential tummy tuck: It targets the fats that accumulate at the front and rear of the midsection. It is also known as a 360 lift.
Extended tummy tuck: When a patient has lost a significant amount of weight, this procedure is performed. In this procedure, the flanks as well as the upper and lower abdomens, are addressed.
Dr. Balvant Arora will assess each detail and then determine the method of surgery to be done based on the patient’s needs and requirements.
Dr. Balvant Arora of Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, Springfield has provided the criteria for good candidates for tummy tuck:
The consultation is an important part of the tummy tuck process. During this visit, Dr. Balvant Arora will assess your individual goals and desired results. He will explain everything in depth to you, and he will walk you through each step of the treatment.
Dr. Balvant will also encourage you to ask any queries that you may have to make sure you have the full clarity of the treatment.
It is important to come to your consultation prepared with a list of questions and concerns. This will help ensure that you receive all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether or not tummy tuck surgery is right for you.
Dr. Balvant Arora of Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa will work with you to ensure that your surgery is performed in the safest and most effective manner possible. Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed using general anesthesia with intravenous sedation.
During the surgery, Dr. Balvant will make an incision in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. Through this incision, he will access the underlying abdominal muscles and tissue. He will then tighten these muscles and remove any excess skin and fat. In some cases, he may also need to reposition the belly button.
Once the surgery is complete, Dr. Balvant will close the incisions with sutures and apply a dressing.
Because tummy tuck surgery or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance. The following factors will influence the cost of tummy tuck surgery:
For people struggling with excess fat around the abdominal area, tummy tuck surgery can be a life-changing solution. The result of a tummy tuck is a flatter and more contoured stomach. Tummy tuck surgery can also be combined with liposuction to further contour the body. In addition to improving appearance, tummy tuck surgery can also help to improve self-confidence and quality of life.
A tube inserted beneath the skin may be used to remove extra liquid or blood. The doctor will give further instructions regarding the tubes’ care until they are removed.
After discharge, the patient is told to take complete rest for at least four to six weeks.
Protective clothing must be worn compulsorily to preserve the tummy contour.
A prescription may be required. Anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and analgesics will be given to relieve discomfort or pain. Blood clots can be prevented using anti-coagulants. These medicines must be taken as directed by the doctor.
The patient may resume light activity after two to three weeks.
Regular check-ups with the Dr. Balvant Arora are required to assess the healing process.
While a tummy tuck can offer several benefits, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and complications that can occur. Some of the most common risks associated with a tummy tuck procedure are as follows:
