Bear the belly?
We loathe having to wear unnecessary clothing during hot weather, but what if you feel that the oversized shirt, or the extra layers are there to camouflage that pouch you’ve been trying to get rid of without effect, or the extra loose skin you’ve acquired after having your baby.
Weakened abdominal muscles, persistent fat deposits and excess skin make us cringe at the thought of baring the belly to the sunlight, making us bundle it up in hiding in deep hibernation. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and weight loss through exercise will no longer eliminate the flabby belly, for this you need to put yourself into the skill hands of a surgeon for a
tummy tuck.
About the Tummy Tuck
The much discussed tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin from the stomach area. The result is no sagging skin and a smooth flat abdomen. There are scars that are as a result of the surgery usually below the bikini line as well as around the belly button however the scars will normally fade within the first year. If there is minimal fat and sagging occurring below the belly button, your
surgeon may propose a mini tummy tuck. Women who are considering having children should wait as a pregnancy will stretch the abdominal muscles once again and require a repeat procedure.
The procedure itself takes from 2 to 5 hours with 2 weeks recovery time and it takes 6 weeks prior to any vigorous exercise. There are minimal risks associated with the
surgery, there is a potential for loss of skin sensation in around the abdominal skin and it may take several months for feeling to return. If fluid accumulation occurs, it is removed for 2-3 weeks with a needle at your clinic. In rare cases skin loss occurs due to infection or excessive tension which causes the incision to heal at a slower pace.
