Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, called commonly as Tummy-Tuck is a operational procedure to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen area (middle and lower) and to tighten the abdominal muscles.
Abdominoplasty can
enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. This
procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of
a protruding abdomen and helps to reduce your waist
remarkably. Candidates for Tummy Tuck are women or
men who have large gat deposits or loose skin that
do not respond to diet, exercise, or both.
Females who had multiple pregnancies and stretched their
abdominal wall and skin will specially benefit from this
procedure. Older patients who are obese and lost the
elasticity of their skin can also benefit from this procedure.
Tummy Tuck can be used alone or in combination with liposuction
to achieve the results.
This procedure, when done by
a qualified surgeon who is trained in body contouring,
the results are generally quite positive. If you are
considering Abdominoplasty,
this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure.
In your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate
your health, determine the extent of fat deposits in
your abdominal region and carefully assess your skin
tone.
This surgical procedure is carried
out in well known hospitals. Where you have to stay for
2 or 3 days under supervision of your surgeon and fully
trained staff. After that you will be sent home with
some instructions, regarding mild exercise and house
hold work. Skin stitches are to be removed on 7-9 th
day. Abdominal scars will not show under most clothing’s.
Liposuction
Liposuction is
the surgical removal process of fat from beneath the surface
of the skin. It is used to reduce fullness in any area (abdomen, knees, hips, arms, thighs, chin, neck, and cheeks etc.)
of the body. It is an excellent method of spot reduction
but is not an effective method of weight reduction.
Liposuction is procedure in which localized deposits
of fat are removed to recontour one or more areas of
the body. Trough a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula
is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies
deep beneath the skin.
Generally people who have localized areas protruding
fat achieve the most dramatic results. Patients who are
slightly overweight can benefit from the liposuction.
Good skin elasticity permits the skin to shrink easily
to the reduced contour.
In women, the single most frequently treated areas are
the outer thighs, followed by the Tummy. In men, the
flank area or “love handles” are treated
most frequently.
If there is excess fat in the area under the chin and
the skin is taut, liposuction alone can produce a more
sculpted angular and youthful jaw line.
