After a tummy tuck what type of scar would you expect?


One of the most common plastic surgery procedures is the tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty. It is suitable for patients whose abdominal region has excess skin and tissue. A tummy tuck often tackles the separate abdominal wall muscles which may occur after weight and pregnancy fluctuations.

When you are considering a tummy tuck along with a discussion of the advantages of the operation and the estimated recovery period with your surgeon, the incision scar would be important to understand

Tummy Tuck Types

The most frequently used incisions for a tummy tuck stretch from hip bone to hip bone as well as a small incision around the button on the abdomen. It helps the surgeon to cut all of the belly button below and just above the tissue. Any line marks will be hidden in that area too. The belly button is brought out by a new opening, but stays on the abdominal wall at its original location. When liposuction is part of the treatment, these new incisions are very small and typically made in a reusable region of tissue.

The mini tummy tuck is ideal for those with minimal skin or roundness restricted to the area just under the belly button. This can also be achieved for the same length or a little longer than a standard C-section scar with a shorter incision. For a mini tummy tuck, the incision and recovery are often less than that of a more traditional abdominoplasty.

An prolonged incision may be required for patients with much excess skin due to multiple pregnancies or a significant amount of weight loss. Patients who have lost weight effectively with gastric bypass or diet and exercise exceeding 100lbs may have laxity and excess tissue that stretches horizontally as well as vertically.

Ensuring that the incision minimizes scarring

It is necessary to review the aftercare system of your plastic surgeon, no matter what incision you choose to have for your tummy tuck, so that your incision heals with the best possible scar. At the time of surgery, most surgeons use surgical glue and steri strips, or paper tape. After two weeks, they can move you to a scar cream and some may add laser therapy to improve scar remodeling after surgery.

Holding your incision out of the direct sun and using sunscreen for the first few months after surgery would be important to help heal your scar to its full potential. It should take the scar a full year to disappear entirely.

Laser liposuction technique melts and tightens the skin

Liposuction is a procedure that uses a method to remove fat from the body area, such as the belly, hips, thighs, buttocks, back, or neck. Those areas too are formed by liposuction. Certain liposuction names include lipoplasty and body contouring. Generally, liposuction is not considered an overall weight-loss process or an alternative to weight-loss. If you're overweight, you're likely to lose more weight than  you would with liposuction through diet and exercise, or through bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass operations. Laser lipolysis provides a fat-busting boost over conventional liposuction. Liposuction is one of the most common fast-fixes for those trying to trimmer bodies with minimal effort. But like anything that seems too good to be true, the process of fat-reduction comes with a few drawbacks, especially if your skin is unable to take up the slack. The aim of using cosmetic surgery to break hard-to-reach fat may be undermined by the pockets of sagging
