A scarless tummy tuck or partial abdominoplasty will result in smaller and less visible tummy tuck scars. The cosmetic surgeon makes the incision much smaller than the incision made for a full abdominoplasty incision. You may be an ideal candidate for a scarless tummy tuck, if you lost elasticity in your abdomen and nothing you do improves it. Things such as age, pregnancy or a lot of weight gain can cause your skin on your abdomen to lose elasticity. This procedure is mainly for problems in the lower abdomen. There shouldnt be to much excess fat in this area. Your abdomen will look taut after this surgery because the surgeon will remove excess skin and tighten the muscles.
A few hours or less is the amount of time it takes to have a scarless tummy tuck. You should completely stop smoking about two weeks before surgery to lower the chances of any complications. A plan will be given to you by your surgeon so you know how to prepare yourself for this surgery.
Anesthetic can be general or local but a sedative is usually given if its local. This type of tummy tuck isnt as invasive as a full tummy tuck so liposuction may also be needed.
After an incision is made above the pubis and the skin flap will be stretched. The skin flap is stitched back into place after the removal of fat and tightening of the skin. The belly button is let in place during the entire surgery. Only a small scar will show but it can easily be hidden.
A great benefit of a scarless tummy tuck is you dont have to stay in the hospital long. Some patients even go home the same day. Pain, tenderness, swelling and bruising are some of the symptoms you may have after this surgery. You can do some light activities after a couple of days if you feel up to it. It may take a whole month to completely recover. Your stitches will be taken out about 10 days after your tummy tuck. You need to be more active after the stitches are out to keep blood clots from forming and to help you recover quicker. Always follow your surgeons advice and keep all your appointments. - 30292
