Awake tummy tuck with liposuction contouring

In today’s fast paced world, every one is looking for instant gratification. The same applies for getting wash board abs that can either be developed by following a balanced diet and working out regularly in the gym or by opting for a tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty. One of the safest types of tummy tucks that give the best results is known as awake abdominoplasty.

Result after Awake Tummy Tuck

If you can lose the belly fat and work those abs, you can get a flat stomach. However, given the constraints of time and a hectic daily schedule, not many people find the time to hit their fitness club or to prepare healthy home cooked meals. Genetics also plays a role in the deposition of fat in certain parts of the body that just doesn’t seem to vanish with lots of exercise. Prior pregnancy and hormones can also play a role here.

The end result is that getting a flat and well-toned tummy becomes a distant dream for many women. This is especially a concern after the loosening of skin around their abdominal area following child birth and weight loss. If you suffer from such changes, perhaps it is best to make an appointment with a renowned cosmetic surgeon for your awake tummy tuck with liposuction contouring.

We offer a unique type of tummy tuck called the Bikini Tummy Tuck. This will not only help you lose excess skin and fat from the tummy area but also re-contour your abdomen and waist for a better shape while keeping the incision low below the bikini line. This is done with liposculpting techniques in proportion to your weight, body type and fat distribution. After reducing the excess fat and reshaping the waist and belly, the muscles are tightened in the middling and the loose skin and ugly stretch marks are removed. The result is a very flat tummy that is difficult to achieve without this cosmetic surgery.

Here are a couple of the most frequently asked questions about tummy tuck procedures.

Who is the right candidate for tummy tuck?

If you weigh close to your ideal body weight and you have loose abdominal muscles and skin due to any of the above mentioned reasons, you are a perfect candidate for tummy tuck. The best results from a tummy tuck are achieved after as much weight is lost if you are overweight. It is not meant for achieving weight loss but is a body contouring procedure. You do lose some weight with removal of the fat and loose abdominal skin that was present, but this is only a few pounds. If you are having difficulty losing weight, you may want to consider doing our HCG True Diet first; lose an adequate amount of weight quickly and then do the tummy tuck.

How long does it take to recovery from the procedure?

After awake tummy tuck has been performed, many people can return to sedentary type work in five days. Some may take a few weeks for resuming more physical activity. In the first week after the surgery, the patient is advised to restrict his or her bodily movements as much as possible so as to not to stretch the incision for the tummy tuck. It takes around two weeks for this to heal adequately and to return to doing light exercising.
