Tummy Tuck Surgery Perth.

The patients who receive the greatest results from our tummy tuck surgery will have excess fat or loose skin around their abdomen. Our surgery aims to remove excess skin and tighten around this area usually using a low incision around the area and an incision around the bellybutton. We aim to see a flatter abdominal region once the surgery is complete.

The difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck is that liposuction only removes excess fat. Our tummy tuck surgery aims to remove fat, reconstruct muscles and tighten the skin in order to gain a flatter abdominal region for the patient.

Once you are home, you are permitted to climb stairs, however, you should do so with caution. If this causes you pain you should avoid climbing stairs until you feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, after tummy tuck surgery, you must wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in any lifting or exercise. You should always follow the recommendations from your surgeon and only engage in exercise when you feel comfortable to do so.

One benefit of tummy tuck surgery is that the procedure is considered permanent. Once you have had your excess fat removed and skin tightened, you should follow your surgeon’s and doctor’s advice regarding diet and exercise to ensure you keep the best results for the long term.

Usually, around 3-6 weeks are needed to rest your abdominal region before sleeping on your side again. It is important that, after tummy tuck surgery, you ensure that you allow your abdomen to recover properly during sleep.

The drop in your clothing size will differ from patient to patient. This is dependent on a variety of factors from their original overall weight to the amount of excess skin and fat being removed. Roughly 2-3 pants sizes are commonly lost after undergoing a tummy tuck; however, this can be more or less.
