By Gee Ray Osvaldo


Restoring back weakened and separated muscles and creating an abdominal profile might be costly to many people. There is this new improved cosmetic surgery that helps people especially women after pregnancies to gain their fit abdomens. Abdominoplasty commonly referred to as tummy tuck is a surgery operated on the abdomen to tighten upper and lower muscles, it is effective in removing excess fats and flabby skin in the abdomen. People that want flat tummies should consider Abdominoplasty.

Before going for Abdominoplasty one should be prepared both physically and psychologically. If one is a smoker, one should cut down smoking for a certain period of time as prescribed by surgeon. Mostly one will be given a period of some weeks prior to the day of surgery to stay without taking any type of drug. Eating a balanced diet is also recommended, this will help in quick healing after the surgery.

Though liposuction may be part of abdominoplasty, they are two different body surgeries. This type of surgery is suitable for both men and women suffering from a flabby tummy. It is more useful to women who have muscles and skin stretched by pregnancies. By undergoing Abdominoplasty, the loose muscles are tightened and the sagging skin is reduced to a good shape.

Tummy tuck is suitable for both men and women suffering from the abdominal problem. Mostly people that were obese and they still have a sagging skin and excess fats go for this surgery. Fitness exercises and days of dieting will only help in losing weight, which might not be the real expectation of the patient. So the most effective way for restoring loose muscles and tightening abdominal wall is by tummy tucking. Abdomiplasty occurs after a talk between the patient and the surgeon.

It is advisable for women that have not yet given birth and are planning to get babies to wait until they have given birth before going for an Abdominoplasty. This surgery is also suitable for men with sagging skin on their abdomens, the skin is reduced to a better shape. Obesity can partially be solved by this type of abdominal surgery.

The complete one takes a longer time than the partial one. It is upon the surgeon to decide on which one suits the patient and is done after an agreement between the two. A patient going for tummy tuck must be well prepared, one should take two weeks free from any type of hard drug prior to the day of surgery.

Preparing both physically and psychologically is a good idea. The surgeon should also test the patient for health fitness before undertaking the surgery. After the surgery the patient should be careful. Following the instructions given by the surgeon will result to effectiveness.

  1. I will not perform surgery on someone who has not stopped smoking for the amount of time I recommended before surgery, about three weeks to a month. On this subject, stay away from alcohol and smoking for three weeks, or even until you are completely healed. This may be your chance to quit smoking completely! Also, one does not just stop taking their medications. As a surgeon, I will want a complete record of the drugs you take, and then decide which you must not take and for how long before surgery. Some vitamins and herbs will interfere with anesthesia and healing. Some will increase bleeding. What is healthy for you normally may not be so healthy right before surgery. Listen to your surgeon (that you have researched well) not random information.
