Abdominoplasty in Tunisia
What is that ?
Abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims not only to flatten the stomach by removing excess fat and skin, but also to tighten the abdominal muscles. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. This cosmetic surgery lasts between 1 and 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of 1 to 2 days at the clinic.
Does such a procedure have any limitations, or is it only suitable for specific individuals? This surgery is indicated for individuals who have lost significant weight due to dieting. The placement of a gastric band or gastric balloon, resulting in excess skin around the abdomen, is a common problem. This problem is also seen in women who have given birth. Abdominoplasty is not suitable for patients with heart problems, lung disease, or excess fat in the abdominal cavity.

What does it consist of?
First of all, you should know that the type of abdominoplasty performed depends on each patient's anatomy, i.e. the characteristics of their abdominal muscles and the specificities of their skin. From there, the surgeon can then opt for different alternatives such as a complete abdominoplasty, a mini-tummy tuck or a circumferential abdominoplasty. While a complete abdominoplasty tightens the skin and muscles of the upper and lower abdomen, a mini-tummy tuck essentially treats excess skin from the navel to the pubic bone. A circumferential abdominoplasty is an extension of a complete abdominoplasty since in this case areas such as the hips are also treated.
Regardless of the type of abdominoplasty, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 2 to 5 hours. More specifically, after making an incision in the lower abdomen and from one hip to the other, the surgeon first removes the fatty deposits located in the abdominal area.
Then follows the removal of excess skin and finally the tightening of the abdominal muscles. At this stage, note that although the procedure remains safe, it may leave temporary after-effects such as stiffness, redness and bruising; however, these fade quickly, so you will be able to appreciate and perhaps even show off your flat and firm stomach on the beach just a few weeks after the procedure.
