Medically known as the Abdominoplasty surgery, a tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure that aims to tone up the abdominal area. Loose and saggy tummies and tightened up and cellulites are stretched out to form a smooth surface.

Many people get caught up in the promise of fantastic end result to consider what is involved in a major surgical procedure like a tummy tuck. Even though a tummy tuck is parked under cosmetic surgery, it will take months to recover from a full tummy tuck procedure.

The tummy tuck, at its simplest form, is a procedure that involves an incision just above the pubic area. The skin is then stretched out with any excess being removed. This mini tummy tuck is sometimes performed with Liposuction to get the best result.

At its most complexes, a full tummy tuck involves creating an incision spanning form one hip to the other. The incision dips from one hip towards the upper pubic area and rises up again to the other hip. Another incision is also created around the navel to free the skin form that area. The loose skin is first separated and then stretched over the abdomen. Any excess skin is trimmed away. The stretched skin is then sutured into place and a new hole is made for the navel. The stomach muscles are also sutured together to tighten up the abdomen.

It is very important that your overall health is known in great details before undergoing a tummy tuck. This will help reduce the risks during surgery since a tummy tuck is done under general anesthesia. Overweight is best addressed with proper diet and exercise before considering the option of a tummy tuck. It is also advisable to go through planned pregnancies before undergoing a full tummy tuck to avoid the possibility of future complications during pregnancy.

As a tummy tuck is a major surgery, there will be scars. The surgeon will attempt to leave as little scar as possible but there is no escaping the fact that surgeries leave scars. Tummy tuck scars are normally below the bikini line so it can be hidden with the proper clothing.
