Are you thinking of having a tummy tuck surgery? It may be an option if your lower abdomen is weak and if loose skin has accumulated around your bellybutton. It’s crucial that you work with an experienced and board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that is also called ‘abdominoplasty,’ and it is done to enhance the appearance of your abdomen. In the procedure, excess fat and skin are removed from your abdomen, and if needed, the connective tissues can be sutured to be tightened. The cosmetic surgeon repositions the remaining skin to create a toned look.

Reasons to have a tummy tuck

As you age, fat may accumulate in the abdomen, resulting in a flabby look. Likewise, excess skin, poor skin elasticity, and the stretching of abdominal muscles due to pregnancy or significant weight changes may result in a loose and protruding abdomen. Tummy tuck cosmetic surgery is an option that can eliminate the excess and loose skin and fat and tighten the weakened muscles. It may help remove excess ...
... skin in your lower abdomen beneath your bellybutton. And while it cannot correct stretch marks outside the area, it may help minimise their appearance.

Note that a tummy tuck is not for everyone. A cosmetic surgeon might warn against it if you are thinking of becoming pregnant in the future, if you plan to lose weight, and if you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or heart disease. It is not ideal if your body mass index is over 30 and if you have irritable bowel syndrome. A tummy tuck may be considered if you have had liposuction before, but the procedure was not that effective in improving your abdomen’s appearance. It may be considered if you have had a C-section and it resulted in retracted scarring.

What to expect after surgery

You may need to stay in a hospital for at least a night. If the surgeon did not use dissolvable stitches, you need to come back and have the surgeon remove them after seven to 14 days. Healing may take up to two weeks, and the first week may involve walking with a stooped posture. You may need to wear a support corset or girdle for a few weeks, too.
