Advantages of tummy tuck
Traditional abdominal weight loss, such as diet and exercise, will temporarily make the fat cells shrink, but the number of fat cells will not be reduced, so if not taken care of, rebound will easily occur.
The most effective way to lose weight in the abdomen is to undergo tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tuck is to suck out the excess fat from the abdomen through mechanical negative pressure method, especially for those who have normal or close to normal weight, but have limited excessive abdominal fat due to endocrine and genetic reasons, or those who have general simple obesity and excessive abdominal fat affecting their appearance and life.
Slightly daily activities can be performed on the same day after tummy tuck surgery, and normal work can be resumed in 2-3 days. Liposuction is less risky and has been performed clinically for decades. It crushes fat cells through technology, making the liposuction process faster, more thorough and with less damage.
Suitable people for tummy tuck
1, limited fat accumulation in the waist, accompanied by mild skin laxity, can be used for liposuction for plastic surgery.
2, young women with near normal weight, good skin quality and only one or two local fat deposits, or middle-aged women with moderate obesity and good skin elasticity are suitable for abdominal fat suction for local weight loss.
Post-operative care points
1, immediately after the tummy tuck to wear elastic tights or elastic bandages, and adhere to at least 3 to 6 months.
2, keep the wound clean and dry, take antibiotics to avoid infection.
3, pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection, and do not go to sauna in the short term.
4.Ensure a good post-operative rest to let the body function to recover.
5, eat more collagen-rich food, and do not eat spicy and stimulating food for one month after surgery.
6, if the phenomenon of unevenness appears, you can often massage this area, which is conducive to the self-recovery of the skin, if the situation is serious, you must promptly reflect the situation to the doctor.
Misconceptions about tummy tuck
1, liposuction surgery is not safe.
The process of liposuction of the waist and abdomen is very simple and safe, and the results after the surgery are obvious. Failed liposuction surgery is often caused by inexperienced doctors or excessive emphasis on huge amounts of liposuction.
2, liposuction surgery will rebound.
In adulthood, the number of fat cells in the human body is unchanged. Tummy tuck surgery is to suck out the deep layer of fat under the skin. Because the number of “deep fat” cells is certain, when the “deep fat” is suctioned, its number will be reduced, and after the number of fat cells is reduced, even if obese, the obesity of the suctioned area is extremely limited, so it will not rebound after suction surgery.
3, tummy tuck surgery can make the weight will drop significantly.
Tummy tuck does not make the weight drop, but plays a shaping role. But why do some people say that they gain weight after liposuction compared to before? It is mainly because this group of people think that since liposuction can make them lose weight, there is no need to control their diet. There is a conceptual error here, these people are mixing liposuction and weight loss into one thing. Liposuction is a means of localized weight loss as well as a means of cosmetic treatment. Some people are not overweight in their entire body, but their localized fat accumulation affects their beauty, so they come for liposuction. The purpose of whole body weight loss is another matter, and that is for overweight.
4, liposuction is the most painful plastic surgery.
There are no painless clinical procedures, so anesthetic needles are used to reduce the pain of the patient. Tummy tuck surgery will be operated under anesthesia, the pain is not obvious within 24 hours after tummy tuck surgery, after 24 hours there will be some soreness, generally tolerable.
5, the skin that has been liposuctioned will become uneven.
Healthy skin has some elasticity, and due to the contraction of skin elastic fibers, the skin will retract on its own.
6.Tummy tuck has an effect on pregnancy and birth.
Because tummy tuck only targets the operation of subcutaneous fat and does not affect body organs, it is not credible that tummy tuck will affect fertility.
