ABDOMINOPLASTY / TUMMY TUCK
 

                   Fall in love of your new body!!


 

When women have had children, the lining of the abdominal muscles, the so-called fascia, can rip and the abdomen can develop a bulge. This is a type of hernia, and other types of hernia may develop as well. The patient can often feel a layer of fat on the lower abdomen.
Liposuction alone removes excess fat, but cannot tighten the fascia or remove hanging skin; for that, an abdominoplasty is necessary. There are several types of abdominoplasty, ranging from a minor removal of hanging skin (a mini-tuck) to a major abdominoplasty where a new umbilicus is made and the entire abdomen is tightened.
Abdominoplasty is an operation performed to remove excess fatty tissue and skin folds in the mid and lower abdominal region and to tighten up the abdominal wall. Diet and exercise alone cannot provide correction, since this condition is often accompanied by separation and stretching of the abdominal muscles and weakening of the abdominal wall.

Abdominoplasty is not directed toward weight reduction. It is designed to remove only as much excess skin and fatty tissue as is practical and safe. Stretch marks, where possible, will be removed along with the excess skin. However, stretch marks on the remaining abdominal skin cannot be removed.
 


The first consultation
In Sensual Body Dream during the first consultation the surgeon analyzes the conditions of the patient which is the best way to correct the defect.
The surgeon will recommend the best solution with respect to the intervention to be made and the best form to perform it. He will also answer all the questions that you have and tell the reasonable expectations that you can have regarding the final result.


Procedure
Incision placement
There are usually two incisions associated with this type of surgery. One incision extends along the lower abdomen just above the pubic hairline. The other is a circular incision around the navel, as the operation frequently requires repositioning the navel to a higher, more natural level.

The abdominal skin and fatty tissue are raised away from the underlying abdominal structures. When necessary, repair of the abdominal wall and muscles is done at this time. The tissue is then stretched in a downward direction and the excess is removed.
Small rubber drains may be inserted in the wound to remove blood and serum that may accumulate. The incision is closed either with suture material, special tapes or metal clips. A large pressure dressing is applied followed by a supportive abdominal binder. An I.V. is routinely placed in the hand or arm prior to surgery for fluid maintenance and remains in place usually until the next morning.
 

Anesthesia
The surgeon will select general anesthesia in most cases, so you'll sleep through the operation. In some cases epidural anesthesia combined with sedation can be indicated.


Duration of the operation
The procedure takes approximately 3 hours to complete


How long is the patient hospitalized?
For tummy tuck one day of hospitalization is usually needed if there are no complications.


After Your Procedure
It may take you weeks or months to feel like your old self again. If you start out in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery from abdominoplasty will be much faster. Some people return to work after 10 days weeks, while others take three weeks to rest and recuperate.

Your scars may actually appear to worsen during the first three to six months as they heal, but this is normal. Expect it to take nine months to a year before your scars flatten out and lighten in color. While they'll never disappear completely, abdominal scars will not show under most clothing, even under bathing suits.


Post Op Follow up
In Sensual Body Dream the strictest norms of quality are followed, that go beyond the intervention. For that reason detailed postoperative controls are made, so the patient feels safe and accompanied. During your stay you will have several consultations, to check that the process follows the natural course and to ensure you that can leave Bolivia without any problem once in your country.
