Are you considering a comprehensive and safe way to look into tummy tuck surgery or abdominoplasty? Have you tried extensive diet and exercise programmes without success? Let's talk about your options. It is first important to understand the principles and fundamentals about your respective medical conditions, goals and expectations. Dr. Nara will explain the intricacies of a tummy tuck based your respective goals. This includes discussing the risks of surgery and recovery. Through his experience and dedication to patient care you will understand this better.
During the abdominoplasty, loose or redundant skin is removed below the navel and the remainder tissues fastened to the underlying structures. The tissues are carefully balanced before closure.
Dr. Nara will explain the intricacies of a tummy tuck based on your individual goals and expectations, in light of any existing medical conditions. Dr Nara will suggest a responsible and balanced approach to the surgical path, for example recommending that you have a stable weight and diet for at least six months. Some patients might be satisfied with their improvement from diet, exercise and smoking cessation alone, choosing not to proceed with surgery. Dr Nara will support you throughout this process should you feel that you can’t achieve the results you desire on your own and choose to consider tummy tuck surgery.
The patient below represents a hardworking mother of 57years of age who decided to have limited minor abdominoplasty (minor tummy tuck surgery) simultaneously with full abdominal liposculpture. We respect that not all patients want full or major abdominoplasty. She still had a considerable amount of soft tissues resected within the limitations of minor abdominoplasty. The challenge for her surgery was that she had previous surgery in the past (please view the scar on the BEFORE images) where a meticulous analysis of soft tissue care was performed whilst analysing the anatomical structures at risk of surgery. The result of surgery was not achieved with tummy tuck surgery alone but also with the addition of liposculpture. Her results are shown at 9 weeks following surgery. We thank our patient who is equally responsible for her astounding results by always attending follow-up clinics on time and being compliant with all after surgery instructions. Therefore, the outcome of aesthetic surgery is a symbiosis between our patient and surgery.
