Tummy Tuck In Thailand
Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a type of plastic surgery that corrects bulging abdomens caused by weak abdominal muscles, weight gain, or pregnancy. Excess skin and strained abdominal muscles usually don’t respond to exercise. This technique tightens the abdominal wall muscles while removing extra adipose tissue and skin to improve body form. The goal is to have a thinner, flatter abdomen. It can be used in conjunction with liposuction to sculpt areas including the flanks, hips, and lower back. Abdominoplasty is not an alternative to weight loss.
Operation Surgery takes approximately 3-4 hours.
Type of anesthesia used:
Under general anesthesia, hospital/clinic stay is 1-2 nights.
Duration of stay in Thailand: 1-2 weeks
Risks and complications:
Asymmetry of body shapes, skin irregularities (rippling or bagginess), and changes in skin pigment, fluid retention, or infection are all potential risks and repercussions of the UA technique. Skin burns are also possible.
Tummy tucks might cause discomfort during the recovery period. This, in conjunction with oral pain medications and muscle relaxants, is the most effective method of controlling post-operative pain. Drains are installed and kept in for a week. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks, however patients must refrain from intense exercise and heavy lifting for one month.
Preparation Before Surgery:
- During consultation, a medical history evaluation (including allergies, major medical conditions, and prescriptions) will be conducted, along with a physical examination and laboratory tests.
- Avoid smoking for 3-4 weeks before surgery to improve circulation and recovery.
- Avoid alcohol for a week prior to surgery and during recuperation.To minimize aggravating medical conditions before to surgery, avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids, and supplements for at least 4-6 weeks. Additionally, avoid using aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements because they can increase bleeding.
