How does it Work?

The extra skin or fats on the area between the belly and pubic region is extracted through surgery. The area is made tighter by tightening the skin. This reshapes the stomach of a person making it leveled and smooth giving the body a contoured look.

Preparation:

The surgeon first has a detailed discussion with the individual about the current condition and expectations from the procedure. He then examines the patient physically and also closely examines the medical history.

The procedure is different for each person. The doctor after a complete examination of the patient decides about the treatment. If the patient is eligible for the treatment, he then proceeds with it. Otherwise, alternative options like liposuction are suggested.

For the preparation, the doctor gives a few instructions to follow. For example, the patient may be recommended to cease drinking, smoking, and any medicines that cause the blood to be thinner, prior to and after the surgery.

If the surgery is to be carried out under general anesthesia, the doctor gives instructions to prepare for it as well.

Procedure:

The length of the procedure depends on the individual and on the fat or loose skin to be extracted. It usually takes about 1 to 2 hours to carry out the surgery.

A small cut is made and the skin is removed from the muscles.  The underlying muscles are then brought together which tightens the stomach. After that, the skin is pulled down over the stomach. It is then stitched together after trimming.

Aftercare and Recovery:

• The person is to be on bed rest for at least the first 48 hours following the procedure
• The patient is given a pain killer following the procedure to numb the pain.  
• The patient is to avoid overexertion and putting pressure on the wound.
• The individual should take at least the first 2 weeks off of work for the wound to heal
• The area of surgery is to be routinely checked by the surgeon to confirm they are healing properly
• The surgical area is to be kept dry and clean
• Avoid stretching for some weeks until healing is complete
• Eating a balanced diet is also advised to speed up the healing process
• The swelling also takes time to recede and the compression suit might be worn for a few weeks

Side effects:

There are minor side effects to the procedure like:

• There is a scar left after complete healing on the abdominal area
• There can be a chance of infection on the site of surgery
• The scar takes time to heal
• Discomfort for the first two weeks after the surgery
•  The individual may experience mild swelling and bruise

How Long do the Results Last?
