Tummy tuck surgery, known as “Tummy Tuck” in English, is one of the common cosmetic procedures in Creative Arts Aesthetic aimed at improving the appearance of the abdomen and flanks. This procedure is popular among individuals who suffer from loose skin in the abdominal area due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.
1. Tummy Tuck Surgery
It is one of the common procedures within Creative Arts Aesthetic, involving the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen and flanks, helping to reshape the area more uniformly and youthfully. This is done through an incision in the abdominal area to remove excess skin and fat, followed by tightening of the abdominal muscles and rearrangement of the remaining skin to achieve a tight and straight appearance.
Tummy tuck surgery is a common choice for individuals with issues such as diastasis recti, which usually occurs after pregnancy, where the sagging abdominal muscles are tightened to redefine the natural appearance of the abdomen. It also helps improve self-confidence and the overall body appearance, being common after gastric bypass surgeries where rapid weight loss leads to skin laxity.
2. Reasons for Tummy Tuck Surgery
Doctors recommend tummy tuck surgery for several reasons, as there are several factors that may lead to excess fat or weak skin elasticity or weak abdominal tissues, which we discuss with patients within Creative Arts Aesthetic, including:
- Significant weight changes.
- Pregnancy and associated sagging.
- Abdominal surgery, such as cesarean section.
