A Tummy tuck is a procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen, and the core muscles of the abdomen are re-approximated, or brought together, with stitches to achieve a more youthful flat, well-contoured, aesthetically appealing abdomen.
An ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is usually posted pregnant or massive weight loss patient with excess hanging abdominal skin and stretch marks on the abdomen with loss of tone and contour.
A tummy tuck becomes the essence of a body contouring procedure. By addressing aesthetic pride and physical comfort, a tummy tuck is not merely a tummy tuck but an upgrade to one’s quality of life.
There for variations of tummy tuck – A mini tummy tuck only addresses mild skin laxity below the belly button. This variation of the tummy tuck generally does not handle any bulging of the abdominal musculature.
An extended tummy tuck is performed when excess skin exists on the abdomen and the flanks. In this case, a longer incision must fully address all excess skin.
The Need for Surgical Rejuvenation
It isn’t a lack of diligence at the gym or inherited genetics sabotaging efforts to attain a flat midsection. The bulge is most likely due to separated or stretched abdominal muscles that cause the bulging appearance in the abdomen. The pouch is emphasized if there is also excess skin on the abdomen.
Abdominal muscle separation is called diastasis and often occurs due to pregnancy. Unfortunately, abdominal muscles are not very elastic—once they separate and sag, they do not shrink back. Surgery is required to reconnect the separated rectus muscles and flatten the midsection.
Properly Repositioning the Navel
An often-neglected part of abdominoplasty is a recreation of the belly button. The navel must be repositioned during a tummy tuck after removing the excess skin. All stitches are hidden under the skin, making the scar completely invisible. The navel must look natural, with no tell-tale stitches outlining the new position.
