Full Tummy Tuck
Sometimes liposuction is not enough to flatten the abdomen. In these cases a separate surgical intervention is requried in order to make the abdomen flatter and leaner. Excess skin is removed and the abdominal wall muscles are stretched and tightened. The amount of excess fat and on the width of the abdomen are parameters which should be taken into consideration when the surgeons estimate the duration of the surgery. Recovery usually takes 3 weeks as there for ten to fourteen days there is an increased sensitivity in the abdominal region. As long as the patient follows a balanced diet, regularly exercises and carefully follows the surgeon's instructions the results are guaranteed to last a lifetime. As an extra bonus of the tummy tuck surgery, the waist will be smaller as well. Tummy tuck procedures generally involve an incision above the pubic bone, the length of which depends on the scale of the tuck. The skin is separated from the abdominal muscles from the navel up until beneath the rib cage, and the abdominal wall muscles are tightened and stitched into their new location. The result is a firmer and tighter abdominal wall. A new umbilicus is cut and put into place as the skin is tightened and the excess skin is removed. Tummy tucks procedures are often preformed in conjunction with a liposuction, in order to remove excess fat.
Duration - up to 5 hours, under general anesthetics.
Scar Tissue Healing Period - six to eighteen months.
Hospital Stay - 1 to 3 days
Risks and side effects - long scar across the lower abdomen, pain or numbness in the abdominal wall, fluid or blood collection, skin flap sloughing and a five percent chance of infection. The development of scar tissue adhesions and blood clots are also a risk. Smokers are advised to quit smoking as they delay their healing time and increase the risk of complications.
Physical work/sports may be resumed – eight weeks after the surgery.
Mini Tummy Tuck
Essentialy the same process as a full tummy tuck, but for the lower abdomen only. A mini tummy tuck is the preferred method for patients who have loose abdominal wall muscles in the lower abdomen region only. In cases where there’s only little excess skin, smaller incisions can be made. In the mini tummy tuck liposuction can be used as well, to remove excess fat.
Duration - 1-3 hours, under general anesthetics.
Scar Tissue Healing Period - six to eighteen months.
Hospital stay - 1 to3 days
Risks and side effects - scar across the lower abdomen, pain or numbness in the abdominal wall, fluid or blood collection, skin flap sloughing and a five percent chance of infection. The development of scar tissue adhesions and blood clots are also a risk. Smokers are advised to quit smoking as they delay their healing time and increase the risk of complications.
Physical work/sports may be resumed - eight weeks after the surgery.
Liposuction
Procedure - Liposuction is the
process by which local body fat deposits are removed from areas of the
body that have responded poorly to diet and exercise. These problem
areas may include the chest, back, stomach, thighs, arms and chin. The
international opinion is that removing more than 3 litres of fat at one
time can cause serious complications that may endanger the health of
the patient. The surgeon makes small incisions in the skin near fatty
areas and inserts a long, hollow tube (known as a canola), which
vacuums out fatty deposits.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
refers to a new technology whereby the tip of the suction tube vibrates
at a rapid speed. This vibration loosens the fat cells so that they may
be suctioned away gently with less trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Using the tumescent technique, targeted fat cells are infused with
saline containing solution with a local anesthetic before the procedure
to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. Using Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL),
an ultrasound probe is inserted under the skin to "liquefy" the fat
before it is suctioned out. UAL treatments result in smoother skin, and
make the liposuction from sensitive areas easier for the plastic
surgeon. There is a general sensitivity after the procedure which lasts
about two weeks.
SmartLipo is different in
that it uses a carefully calibrated laser to liquefy fat deposits
through the top layers of the patient’s skin. A small canola of
approximately 0,2 mm in diameter containing a laser fibre is inserted
into the skin. The canola delivers the laser’s energy to the fat cells
causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The procedure can be
performed under local anesthesia with less down time and side effects
than traditional liposuction.
Duration - It can range between 1 to 2 hours.
Anesthesia - General or local anesthetic
Hospital stay - Patient may leave the same day.
Scar tissue healing period - This means that the swelling will take approximately one month to subside.
Risks and side effects - Asymmetry, Rippling, or bagginess of skin. Other risks include pigmentation changes, skin injury, infection, and fluid retention. Excessive fluid loss may lead to shock. UAL: heat from the ultrasound device may cause thermal burn injury. With a 30 per cent chance of needing a follow-up operation, liposuction is commonly regarded among industry professionals as the cosmetic operation most likely to disappoint
Physical work/sports can be done - four weeks after the procedure.
