What is Abdominoplastia (Tummy Tuck)?

An abdominoplastia, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape and tighten the abdominal area. It is a popular choice for individuals who have excess skin and fat in the abdomen, often resulting from significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Abdominoplastia can improve the abdominal contour and restore self-confidence.

Benefits of Abdominoplastia

There are numerous benefits associated with abdominoplastia. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Removal of excess abdominal skin
  • Tightening of abdominal muscles
  • Improved body proportions
  • Enhanced self-esteem and body confidence
  • Reduced appearance of stretch marks
  • Improved overall abdominal contour

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and considerations to be aware of before undergoing abdominoplastia. Dr. Furstenberg Michael will discuss these with you during your consultation, but it's important to have a general understanding of these factors. Some potential risks include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Scarring
  • Fluid accumulation
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Temporary or permanent nerve damage

The Abdominoplastia (Tummy Tuck) Procedure

Prior to the abdominoplastia procedure, Dr. Furstenberg Michael will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history and perform a physical examination to determine your candidacy for the surgery. Once it is determined that you are a suitable candidate, the surgery itself involves the following steps:

  1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
  2. Incision: Dr. Furstenberg Michael will make an incision in the lower abdomen, typically within the bikini line, to minimize visible scarring.
  3. Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat will be carefully removed to achieve a smoother abdominal contour.
  4. Muscle Repair: The abdominal muscles may be tightened and repaired if they have become weakened or separated.
  5. Skin Redraping: The remaining skin is carefully redraped and sutured into place for a taut appearance.
  6. Closure: All incisions are meticulously closed using sutures or surgical adhesives.
  7. Recovery: After the surgery, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for the incisions and manage your recovery process.

Recovery and Aftercare

Understanding the recovery and aftercare process is crucial for a successful abdominoplastia outcome. Dr. Furstenberg Michael and his team will provide you with detailed instructions on:

  • Wound care and incision management
  • Pain management
  • Activity restrictions
  • Follow-up appointments

  • Post-operative garments or compression wear
