Introduction

Signs for the Tummy Tuck procedure
There are three symptoms that may appear on a person and make them consider a tummy tuck, these symptoms are:
Fat accumulation in the abdominal area, fat becomes very stubborn and does not burn easily.
Stretch marks with the skin becoming loose, unfortunately exercise does not help tighten the skin again.
Separation of abdominal muscles, causing abdominal bloating and making it difficult for the area to return to its previous flatness.
Tummy Tuck procedure
This procedure is performed under full anesthesia in a hospital, it takes one and a half to two hours.
Liposuction is done around the waist and abdomen in a 360-degree manner
The procedure begins at the back and waist, where the patient lies on her stomach and the fat is suctioned.
Then the patient is turned to the other side and lies on their back fat is suctioned from the entire abdominal area.
The waist is contoured, and excess skin is removed. Finally, the incision is closed.
As for the belly button, its position remains the same, a cut is made around it to allow for the skin tightening and removal therefore new skin forms around the belly button, and a small incision is made in the new skin to secure its position.
Afterward, the patient is positioned at a 60-degree angle, the incisions are stitched up.
Plastic tubes are placed to collect any fluids that result from the surgery.
Recovery and Results:
The patient can leave the hospital two days after the surgery and she’ll be slightly bent forward.
