Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck): more than aesthetic benefits
Many times we refer to Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck only as the surgery that corrects sagging abdomen at the aesthetic level. Ignoring that it is a procedure that improves the patient’s quality of life, especially after pregnancy.
Tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty is the procedure that helps to link the muscles of the abdomen, and as a result you get a more slender and flat abdomen.
Is it necessary to have a tummy tuck?
After achieving a significant weight reduction, as a result of a bariatric or after experiencing one or several pregnancies, the abdominal abdomen may suffer a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles. In the case of pregnancies they separate forming a hernia; This is why in each pregnancy the abdomen can distend.
Medical benefits of tummy tuck
Reduction of urinary incontinence
After childbirth, many women have urinary incontinence due to the effort made during the birth process. This lack of control in a bladder is related to leaking urine in uncomfortable situations such as sneezing, coughing, exercise or laughing very hard.
Improves abdominal tone and posture
When you have lost a lot of weight or after multiple pregnancies, you can gain extra volume in the muscles of the abdomen. So diet and exercise are often not enough to correct it.
Hernia Correction
After a massive loss of weight, the abdominal muscle can weaken and the product of this can cause hernia in the lower back. Tummy tuck corrects this weakness, in addition to combating excess excess skin.
It should be borne in mind that tummy tuck surgery is an important surgery, and that it requires several hours of surgery in the operating room.
The recovery of the tummy tuck can take a few weeks, and involves risks and complications typical of major surgeries, but often from this, the aesthetic and medical benefits are greater.
