Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck”, is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and to tighten the underlying muscles, it is often sought by people who have lost a significant amount of weight or who have excess skin and stretched abdominal muscles due to pregnancy or aging.

PlusClinic provides you with the best team of experienced doctors that will provide you with quality and professional treatment before, during, and after the surgery.

Before the Abdominoplasty Surgery

Before undergoing abdominoplasty surgery, it’s important to prepare yourself both mentally and physically. Here are some important steps to take before your surgery:

• Quit smoking,
• Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine,
• Arrange for post-surgical care,
• Follow pre-operative instructions.

By taking these steps before your surgery, you can help us ensure a safe and successful procedure and a smooth recovery.

During the Abdominoplasty Surgery

During an abdominoplasty surgery, you will be under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep and not aware of what’s happening. The surgeon will perform the following steps during the surgery:

• Incision,
• Removal of excess skin and fat,
• Muscle repair,
• Skin tightening,
• Closure.

The surgery typically takes several hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.

As the patient, your role during the surgery is to simply relax and let the surgical team work the procedure. You will be followed closely by our team members for your health. After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room to wake up from the anesthesia and begin the recovery process.
