The decision to have a tummy tuck or any kind of surgery is an important decision. Surgery carries risk and all precautions and risks should be discussed with a certified physician at a consultation. Surgery to remove fat from the midsection is sought after by men with a bulging mid section as well as women and those who have been pregnant or are over sixty years old with loose or saggy skin. While liposuction can remove the fat, sometimes the excess skin can be a problem and require further surgery to correct it.
Once a decision has been made to have a tuck, the next choice would be to have a tummy tuck, you might want to talk to your surgeon about a general one versus a complete one. The surgery is slightly different with different results. In the general tuck surgery the surgeon makes and incision from hip bone to hip bone just above the public bone and in a straight line. The flap of skin with fat attached is lifted to reveal the underlying muscle, where the surgeon can pull them together more tightly and stitch them. Then the flap is pulled down to the incision line tightly and the excess skin and fat is cut off. The skin flap is stitched back to the incision line and a hole is made in the skin for a new belly button.
In the complete version, the surgeon starts the incision at the bikini line directly right at the hip bone. But instead of going straight across, he extends down the towards the pubic bone at angle, cuts across directly above the public bone and then angles back up to the other hip bone. The rest is done the same way by pulling up the skin flap, tightening the muscles underneath, pulling the flat down taught to the incision line, cutting off the excess skin and fat, then stitching the flap back to the incision line. A hole is cut to make a new belly button.
Women who wear low cut bikinis or jeans, who have lower belly bulge that protrudes and those who want a more aesthetic look, tend to opt more for the complete version, as the scar is hidden under a bikini, panties or jeans.
The tummy tuck surgeon makes a long incision in the bikini line above the pubic area. The incision starts at the tip of the pelvis, extends down to the bikini line, and comes back up to the other pelvic bone. A second incision is made around the belly button to free the navel from surrounding tissue. Next, the tummy tuck surgeon lifts a flap of skin from the abdominal wall to the ribs in order to access the muscles in the abdomen. The tummy tuck surgeon tightens these muscles by positioning them closer together and suturing them. This procedure firms the abdomen and thins the waist. The skin flap is then stretched down, the excess skin and fat is removed, and a new belly button opening is formed.
