Tummy Tuck in Mesa
A tummy tuck in Mesa is a body contouring procedure that focuses on the abdomen. This procedure removes excess skin that remains in the lower abdomen after pregnancy and childbirth, that simply will not go away. This is also common in men and women after significant weight loss. It is important to understand that abdominoplasty is not a weight loss surgery, but a skin reduction surgery.
The Goals of a Tummy Tuck
The goals of abdominoplasty surgery are to remove the extra skin, tighten the underlying muscles, flatten the abdomen and leave a fine line lower abdominal scar that can easily be hidden in the underwear or swim wear.
Tummy Tuck Surgery Explained
Under general anesthetic, an incision is made just above the pubic region. The umbilicus (belly button), usually needs to be separated from the abdominal skin, allowing for more tightening of the skin and access to the underlying muscles. The muscles are then tightened to flatten the abdomen. The skin is then stretched, and the extra skin is removed. A drain is placed beneath the skin to avoid a collection of fluid beneath the skin. It will be removed shortly after surgery. The umbilicus is then brought back out of the skin in its new position. A dressing including an abdominal binder is then applied.
