WHAT IS TUMMY TUCK SURGERY?
Abdominoplasty is a completely safe and simple surgical cosmetic procedure. It aims to tighten muscle walls, remove wrinkles, sagging, and skin appendages by removing fat present in the abdomen and waist. There are two ways to perform abdominoplasty. They are
- Partial abdominoplasty is best used when there are skin appendages or sagging in the lower part of the abdomen, below the navel, and when several additional fat blocks are present
- Total abdominoplasty is relied upon in the presence of stiff fat lumps in the entire abdominal area, so the abdominal wall and whole muscles are tightened
PRE- TUMMY TUCK SURGERY TIPS
There are many tips to follow before undergoing tummy tuck surgery in order to achieve the desired results. They are as follows
Avoid blood thinners such as alcohol, green tea, and vitamin combinations, as they contain vitamins E and A to avoid bleeding during surgery
Avoid drinking stimulants such as caffeine and Arabic coffee, as they make anesthesia less effective
Stop taking blood thinning medications one week before surgery
Eat a healthy, balanced food well in advance of tummy tuck surgery to avoid complications during surgery
Stop smoking for one month, as smoking affects the oxygen levels in the blood and reduces the rate of oxygen needed in the blood for recovery
