Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Seattle and Bellevue
Who
is a candidate for tummy tuck?
- If you have loose or sagging abdominal wall skin frequently
associated with abnormal relaxation of the anterior
abdominal wall muscles (frequently due to multiple pregnancies).
- If you are unable to tighten abdominal wall skin with
exercise.
- If you have stretch marks due to previous pregnancies.
Intended results of tummy tuck
- A smoother flatter abdomen with a more shapely side
contour.
- Smaller belly button with upper hooding.
Tummy tuck procedure description
- The procedure is usually performed under general
anesthesia.
- Mini-abdominoplasties are only for a select group of
patients that have a small amount of excess fat and skin
of the lower abdomen.
- A standard abdominoplasty also tightens the abdominal
wall, which results in a more contoured abdomen.
- The scar for the standard abdominoplasty extends across
the lower abdomen and can go as far back as the lower
back.
Recuperation and healing after tummy tuck
- Abdominoplasty can be somewhat uncomfortable immediately
after the operation and will require a certain level
of commitment in the recuperating period.
- You will be able to go home the day of the operation.
- You will be encouraged to walk and move regularly
within 1-2 days of the operation.
- Light activity will be comfortable in 10 days. Sports
will not be comfortable for about 6 weeks.
- A pain pump (On-Q) and our regimen of pain medications create a comfortable post-operative period.
