A step-wise process of getting a tummy tuck is as follows:

Preparation for Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Once the patient is ready to go to the next step for tummy tuck operation, another meeting is scheduled with the surgeon to show the reports of routine tests ordered by the surgeon. 
• The surgeon thoroughly examines the abdomen profile and confirms the patient about his/her candidacy for a tummy tuck. 
• Lastly, instructions are given on how to get ready for the surgery like avoiding intake of blood thinners, keeping the bowel full before surgery, and making arrangements for recovery at home.  

Stepwise procedure of Tummy Tuck Surgery:

Based on the patient’s unique requirement, the surgeon makes markings for incisions for the procedure of a tummy tuck on a clean abdomen skin, while the patient stands straight.

• Marking Incisions: The surgeon marks the incision lines on the abdomen while the patient stands upright.
• Making of incisions- A large cut is made in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area, below the navel, from one hip to another to separate abdominal skin from the abdominal wall. 
• Removal of extra skin and fat- The surgeon performs extra abdominal skin excision and stubborn fat removal using the liposuction technique. 
• Abdominal muscles tightening- The surgeon uses sutures to tighten separated or slack abdominal muscles. 
• Repositioning of navel- The surgeon makes another cut for repositioning of the belly button with sutures. 
• Closing of incisions- Lastly, all skin incisions are closed using surgical tape, glue, or stitches.

Note: 

• For a full/complete tummy tuck, the surgeon makes an incision from one hip bone to the other, above or within the pubic hairline. 
• Sometimes the temporary placement of drainage tubes in the incision sites to avoid fluid accumulation. 

• After a successful post-operation, the tummy tuck surgeon sutures all the surgery incisions and covers them with sterile dressings. 
• The patient is guided on the healing process and provided with recovery care instructions. 
• To alleviate swelling, the patient is asked to wear compression garments. 
• The surgeon is strict about no strenuous activities and the practice of proper surgical wound care.  

Tummy tuck surgery may not be suitable for:

• Women planning future pregnancies
• Individuals seeking surgery to meet someone else’s expectations
• Overweight or obese individuals looking for a quick weight-loss solution
• Smokers, due to higher risk of complications and slower healing
