Cosmetic Surgery Tummy Tuck - What You Must Know

Posted: Apr 26, 2010 |

If you have tried exercise and dieting and you are still in possession of a less than flat abdomen, it might be time for a cosmetic surgery tummy tuck. You may have read something about tummy tucks or you may be unaware of the procedure.

This article will discuss what happens during a tummy tuck, how long it takes before you see results and what the cosmetic tummy tuck procedure could cost. Bear in mind that the cost projections for the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty are just estimates and should be discussed with a surgeon. A cosmetic surgery tummy tuck removes excess fatty deposits and skin shaping the person's profile with a slimmer, smoother and firmer look.

An incision is made in the abdomen area between the pubic hairline and the navel.  This would be considered a full tummy tuck. The incision is made horizontally and can be expected to fade within a year. If a smaller portion is all that needs to be removed a mini tummy tuck may be all that is needed. Liposuction can be done at the same time as the mini tummy tuck providing even better results. If there are fatty deposits on the flank of the patient liposuction can be introduced to this area during a cosmetic surgery tummy tuck.

After the cosmetic surgery tummy tuck the patient could be placed in an abdominal binder.  There will also be drains placed in the incisions. They will stay in for about a week or two.  Swelling is to be expected and some results will be evident within about two to four weeks.  The final appearance of the surgery should manifest itself in eight weeks to six months. The incision will slowly disappear, but it could take up to a year.

Cost for a cosmetic surgery tummy tuck can vary depending on where you live and other factors. Generally you can expect to spend between five hundred dollars and eight hundred dollars. As stated before, however, the only way to get a better estimate of the cost is to speak directly with a surgeon.
