Tummy Tuck For Transforming Saggy And Loose Belly Fat Into A Slender And Tight Waistline

What is Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck surgery, clinically known as Abdominoplasty, a plastic surgeon removes loose skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and eliminates stubborn deposits of fat.

Whenever you experience a build-up of excessive fat around your abdomen, the volume of fat can be reduced by liposuction; however, this does not get rid of saggy skin. If you have sagged and flabby belly fat or if you happen to have excessive stretch marks or scarring from having baby birth, it can guarantee your perfect stomach contour.

Surgery Duration: 2-4 hours

Anesthesia: Sedation or general anesthesia

Hospitalization: 1- 2 days

Number of postoperative visits  : 3 times

Return to daily activity: within 1-3 day after operation

Tummy tuck is recommended for:

• Those who want to remove flab and stretch marks following pregnancy
• Those whose want to eliminate saggy belly fat following excessive weight loss or liposuction
• Those who want to remove uneven belly fat following failed liposuction
• Those who want to remove scarring from C-section
• Those who want to improve their back hipline

A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or a regular exercise program. Tummy tuck results, while permanent, can be diminished if your weight fluctuates significantly. That is why you should postpone a tummy tuck if your plans include losing substantial weight or future pregnancies

Types of JW’s tummy tuck and operation procedures

Abdominal obesity is high and belly fat is excessively sagging

Total abdominoplasty is an ideal surgery to those who want to reduce overall fat and skin around their abdomen. Liposuction is performed from above the navel and down to the pubic region. After liposuction, excessive saggy skin is eliminated. While leaving nerves and blood vessels largely undisturbed, the excess skin is effectively removed.

Lower abdomen is sagging

A single incision is made in the area under the navel, and then Endoscopic Mini Abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess skin. The ideal candidate for this tummy tuck has laxity and protrusion below the navel. Conventional Mini Abdominoplasty cannot tighten slack abdominal muscles following pregnancy; however, JW’s Endoscopic Mini Abdominoplasty can ensure the sculpting of a beautiful tummy line by tightening the abdominal muscles (An effect similar to wearing a corset around one’s belly).

Upper belly is sagging

For those who only experience upper abdominal bulging, Pick-up Abdominoplasty, which lifts belly skin through making incisions under the breast, is performed. Any faint scarring caused by the operation is naturally covered by the under-breast wrinkles, leaving it nearly invisible.
