Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery might be right for you if:
- You desire to return to a pre-pregnancy physique
- Your waist has folds and excess skin due to fluctuations in weight or significant weight loss
- You experience irritation and discomfort from the excess skin in your abdomen area
- You find emotional discomfort from the shape of your abdomen area and midsection
- You desire to repair the stretching or separation of abdominal muscles
- You desire to obtain a more youthful figure because aging has caused a loss of skin elasticity
How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed?
Our tummy tuck procedures near Rancho Cucamonga, California, use well-established techniques that have been perfected by years of research and medical development. Traditionally, one incision is made along the lower pubic area, and a second incision is made around the navel. Other incision techniques may be considered based on your physiology, the areas targeted, and your desired goals.
Each of the three tummy tuck techniques (standard, mini, and extended) is performed under general anesthesia, with most patients returning home on the same day. The most common incision is created around the bikini line or the pubic line.
If a tummy tuck is performed to address concerns with fat deposits, liposuction may be used to contour and define your midsection further. Our surgeon will create easy-to-hide incision points to reduce the visibility of post-operative scarring. Tummy tuck surgery can be performed alone or in combination with a Brazilian Butt Lift, a thigh lift, or even breast augmentation. This set of body and breast combinations is most commonly packaged as a Mommy Makeover.
What Is My Tummy Tuck Recovery Like?
No matter how skilled a surgeon is, all surgical procedures carry some form of risk during recovery. The speed at which someone recovers varies depending on the patient’s age, medical background, and biological disposition.
Typically, most patients are fully recovered within six weeks but can return to work after two weeks. During the first two weeks, you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort at the surgical site, and you will need to wear a special post-operative garment or wrap. Your surgeon may give you specific directions for cleaning the incision site, bathing, and sleeping while the incisions heal.
What Results Can I Expect From the Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck results start to become noticeable immediately after treatment; however, it will take a few weeks or months to enjoy the full extent of your results.
Your stomach will begin to look leaner and more defined in the following weeks and months. You will immediately notice less excess skin and a tighter abdominal wall. These results should last for years to come, but the accomplishments of any aesthetic surgery require maintenance with a healthy lifestyle.
Having more children will reverse the results; therefore, the tummy tuck should be postponed until patients have had all their children.
