Tummy Tuck offers different types tailored to specific needs. Conventional tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen, while mid-circular tummy tuck focuses on the midsection, and circular tummy tuck encompasses the abdominal circumference.
The fleur de lis tummy tuck, designed for sagging in the upper and lower abdomen, is a prominent option for those who have experienced weight loss. The choice of the type of tummy tuck is based on the evaluation with the cosmetic surgeon, who determines the most suitable approach for each patient.
There are cases where patients experience significant abdominal sagging, either as a result of bariatric procedures such as gastric sleeve or gastric bypass, or due to other weight loss methods. In situations of excessive sagging, a conventional tummy tuck may not be sufficient to fully address this issue. It is in these specific scenarios where the fleur de lis tummy tuck emerges as an effective solution.
Includes: Surgeon's fees, surgical equipment, operating room, and one-night hospital stay. Additionally, post-surgical follow-up appointments necessary until discharge are also covered.
Not included: Post-surgical garments, pre-operative tests, lymphatic drainage massages (body), and necessary medications.
Ideal candidates for tummy tuck are those who have experienced significant weight loss and postpartum women with abdominal laxity. Evaluation by a cosmetic surgeon is crucial to determine the suitability for tummy tuck.
Tummy tuck aims to reshape the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, in addition to correcting abdominal diastasis and tightening muscles. In contrast, liposculpture focuses on sculpting the body by removing localized fat deposits, without addressing the skin significantly. While tummy tuck seeks more comprehensive results in the abdomen, liposculpture focuses on improving body shape by extracting fat from specific areas.
Yes, tummy tuck, in addition to improving appearance, also provides functional benefits such as correcting abdominal diastasis. This condition, characterized by the separation of abdominal muscles, is addressed during surgery, restoring muscle firmness and function. In addition to achieving aesthetic results, patients experience improvements in abdominal health and muscle strength, contributing to a better quality of life.
Yes, tummy tuck leaves a scar that is located just above the pelvis, extending from one end to the other or slightly less. It is important to note that the scar's location is strategically designed to be perfectly hidden under the underwear, thong, or bikini line, ensuring aesthetic results without compromising discretion.
The medications are analgesics and antibiotics.
