Abdominoplasty Procedure

This procedure is also called a Tummy Tuck. It is designed to remove extra fat and loose skin that tend to accumulate in the lower belly. Previous scars resulting from abdominal surgery or stretch marks after giving birth can also be treated this way. This operation can be useful for people after dramatic weight reduction, which can leave your skin loose, resembling an accordion. It is important to understand that this operation is not a substitute for diet and exercise. If there is also extra fat in the abdominal wall this operation can be combined with a liposuction, but it is advisable to wait 6 month between the two. This operation can also be preformed with breast augmentation; the implants can be inserted through the cut made in the abdomen, so additional surgery can be avoided.

During the surgery a longitudinal incision (20-30c"m long) in a shape of an arch is made just above the pubic hair. Through the incision the surgeon separates the skin and fat from the muscles, stitches them together in order to stretch the tummy and removes the extra fat and skin. The umbilicus is detached from the skin and returns to its new position after the stretch.

It is not wise to undergo the operation during the reproductive years because every delivery can loose your tummy and make it look fallen again.

After the surgery you'll have two scars, a longitudinal scar at the lower abdomen and a round scar around the belly button. The scars tend to fade away with time, but you should remember that the size and color of the scars couldn't be predicted.

The most common complication of the procedure is haematoma under the skin, which may need surgical drainage. Other complications such as infection and difficult healing are rare.

You will be discharged from the clinic one day after the surgery; you may fell pain in the scar area, which can be treated with painkillers, the bandages and a drainage tubes will be removed one day after the surgery. Most of the patients return to their daily activities after two weeks but exercise is not allowed for two month. During the surgery small nerves are injured, therefore you may fell numbness in your tummy, they usually recover after a couple of month. Swelling is normal during the initial period following the surgery. It takes about two month before the swelling completely disappears.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • Following comments from a reader that the advice in the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin article (Self-monitoring of blood glucose in diabetes, DTB 2007; 45: 65–9) on patients with IDDM who drive should be more in line with that of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), the DTB features an update on this topic. The authors note that the DVLA recommendations seem sensible, although they are stricter than those found while researching their article and the recommendations were unavailable on the DVLA’s website at the time of writing. They were however, in ‘A guide to insulin treated diabetes and driving.’ an information leaflet sent out to drivers once their new diagnosis of insulin-treated diabetes had been reported to the DVLA. An updated version of the leaflet is now available on the DVLA website at the above link, which makes it very clear that all drivers with insulin-treated diabetes are required to notify the DVLA, and that a copy of the leaflet would also be sent to the patient’s clinician.
  • The Department of Health has launched the children's palliative care strategy 'Better Care: Better Lives’ aimed at caring for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
