About The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Abdominoplasty
About
Abdominoplasty
Below is how we utilize this technology:
Separation
Our board-certified plastic surgeons utilize a small cannula to separate fat from the surrounding tissue. Tumescent fluid is injected into the treated area to emulsify and facilitate fat removal.
Aspiration
The process removes unwanted fat with a gentle suction from a cannula. This is done without causing damage to surrounding tissue.
Fat Equalization
Equalization of fat is the final step of the process. The remaining layer of fat is evened out for a smooth, consistent surface. This causes fewer surface irregularities, bumps, or indentations visible under the skin.
Benefits
The benefits of a tummy tuck go beyond aesthetic rejuvenation and improve muscular function. The routine procedure offers patients a smoother, taut abdominal core. You’re sure to leave our office with a newfound sense of self-esteem and better movement. You can enjoy these other benefits too:

Your consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons is a two-way conversation that addresses your concerns and allows us to understand how we can assist in meeting your needs.

Preparation
Preparation
Amaira Med Spa & Surgical prioritizes patient safety and experience above all else. To ensure a smooth preparation process, our team of board-certified plastic surgeons will provide you with personalized instructions tailored to your individual needs. Below is a general guideline to help you prepare beforehand:
1.
Prepare to give up smoking a few weeks before surgery and for the entire recuperation process. Smoking can significantly affect the surgery and the healing process.
2.
Adjust medications. Blood thinners and over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen can increase the chance of excessive bleeding during surgery
3.
Go to the drug store and fill any prescriptions ordered by our board-certified plastic surgeons so that you’ll have them on hand after your procedure.
4.
Ask a trusted friend or family member to provide transportation home and assistance for the first day of your recovery.
5.
Prepare a comfortable place to rest and recover, with essentials within close reach. You will need to avoid laying flat on your back to avoid putting strain on your healing incisions, so make sure you have a comfortable recliner or plenty of pillows.
Procedure
Procedure
Before proceeding, you’ll be administered general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure your comfort. Your specific pathway to achieving a taut midsection may vary depending on your individual condition. During your consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeons will determine which tummy tuck method is most suitable for you. Here are the two approaches:
Mini
Tummy Tuck
This method is beneficial for patients with modest amounts of excess skin and fat. Initially, our surgeons will make a small incision just above the pubic area and then follow the same steps as a traditional abdominoplasty, removing excess fat and re-draping the skin.
Full
Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck procedure addresses the most common causes of excess skin and damaged abdominal muscles. Our surgeons begin by making an incision just above the pubic area, which extends between the hip bones.
Recovery
Recovery
The recovery period following a tummy tuck typically ranges from 3 to 6 months. Over time, your new results will become more evident, and your symptoms will gradually improve. While each patient’s healing process varies, here is a general guideline of what to expect:
- During the first week of recovery, plan to take it easy. You may experience limited movement, but it’s essential to take short walks regularly to promote good circulation.
- To minimize tension on the wound, rest and sleep in an inclined position.
- Mild discomfort, soreness, and swelling may occur during the initial few weeks. Follow the prescribed medication regimen provided by our board-certified plastic surgeons for the first 3 to 6 days, then transition to ibuprofen as needed.
- You may gradually return to light activities and desk work within 2 to 4 weeks. However, strenuous movements should be avoided for an additional six weeks.
- A compression garment or abdominal binder will be provided for you to wear for two weeks to support and maintain the integrity of your results.
Results
Patients are thrilled with their results. Once the recovery period is over, they see a noticeable difference in their midsection. The optimized body profile allows better movement, more clothing options, and heightened self-confidence. The results are yours to keep for years as long as you’re committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and regular exercise.
