Am I a Good Candidate For a Brazilian Tummy Tuck?

Want a trim, shapely waist and tummy? Get a tummy tuck! This cosmetic surgery is designed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area and also tighten the skin and muscles, and help you achieve your aesthetic goals when diet and exercise fail. Leading plastic surgery practices now offer an even more advanced treatment – Brazilian tummy tuck surgery in Manhattan. In addition to all the benefits of a traditional abdominoplasty, this innovative procedure provides superior waist contouring outcomes for patients who have large amounts of loose skin and fat in the abdominal area, such as that caused by multiple pregnancies.

How Does Brazilian Tummy Tuck Work?

Brazilian tummy tuck is intended to significantly reshape the abdomen and central torso. Experts use advanced liposuction modalities such as ultrasound-assisted VASERlipo and radiofrequency-assisted BodyTite to perform this body contouring procedure. Liposuction of the entire abdomen and flank is performed through very small skin incisions using a small, delicate energy-assisted cannula. The excess skin is drawn down and removed, resulting in a flatter, trimmer stomach. The treatment pulls the waist in and gets rid of excess skin, resulting in a smaller-looking waist. One major benefit of the Brazilian tummy tuck is that it keeps the scars as concealed as possible. Unlike traditional abdominoplasty that causes scars high up above the waist, the Brazilian tummy tuck incision is located in the lower abdomen in the area below the “bikini line” so that the scar is very low on the pubic area, allowing you to wear a low-cut bikini.

However, not everyone is a good candidate for a Brazilian tummy tuck. Generally, a healthy person with troublesome areas of excess abdominal fat and skin that they would like to get corrected is considered a good candidate for the procedure. General considerations that determine a person’s candidacy for the treatment:

 
Importantly, just as in the traditional approach, the surgeon would advise women to complete having children before considering the treatment. Additional benefits that the Brazilian tummy tuck offers include:

• Pulls up the pubic area which may have dropped due to aging or pregnancy
• Rejuvenates the inner thighs and pubis
• Reduces bouts of incontinence that come after pregnancy
• Recovery is much faster with a downtime of just 10 days

Recovering from Brazilian Tummy Tuck in Manhattan

Most patients are able to return to work in 2 to 3 weeks post-op. However, it would take about 4 weeks to return to all normal activities and exercise. In leading NYC plastic surgery practices, the ON-Q PainBuster® pain relief system is used to help their patients recover quickly from tummy tuck surgery. The pump delivers a local anesthetic continuously to the treatment site so that there is no pain for the first five days. The use of this non-narcotic automatic pump significantly reduces downtime, improves mobility, and speeds up return to normalcy.

The longevity of the results completely depends upon how you take care of yourself. For instance, you can retain your shapely figure for years to come unless you gain weight or become pregnant. Therefore, to maintain the new look, expert surgeons advise their patients to begin an exercise program, which also helps to increase their health and fitness, beginning at week eight.
