For a long time, people have sought to obtain the body they desire, and plastic surgery has been a perfect ally. Thanks to the technology and experience of surgeons like Dr. Robles, it is possible to satisfy people’s needs. Nowadays, one of the points that can cause more discomfort in individuals is the abdominal area, which is why at Clínica Renueva, we offer the Tummy Tuck Tijuana surgery.
It is a surgical procedure where the plastic surgeon works on the abdominal area to remove excess skin and fat that a person may have. In the Tummy Tuck surgery, the surgeon will also seek to contract and repair the abdominal muscle, to give the patient an appearance of a flatter abdomen and a much more stylized silhouette.
The popularity of this type of surgery focused on removing excess fat deposits has been so great that nowadays the Tummy Tuck Tijuana is one of the most performed in Mexico.
The patient must attend a consultation where the board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robles will examine the abdominal profile to specify how the Tummy Tuck surgery will be. In this consultation process, an analysis will be made where the doctor will specify the changes that can be obtained with this method. It is at this part where the patient can expose his doubts about the Tummy Tuck Tijuana so that Dr. Robles can solve them.
It is essential for the doctor to know about clinical history to avoid possible risks, so the patient’s cooperation will be necessary to clarify issues related to early surgery, diseases, allergies, treatments, and family history. Also, if the patient has recent studies, it is necessary to give them to Dr. Robles so that he can have an idea about the person’s state of health. If there are no previous studies, the patient will be asked to undergo some studies to start the medical history.
It is also essential to discuss your expectations and goals of the surgery so that Dr.Robles can offer an idea of what the final results will be and the factors that will be involved.
Once the doubts are cleared up, Dr. Robles will make a report specifying the state of the skin, the size of the abdomen, the weight, height, and the presence of marks and stretch marks.
Once the patient is prepared, he or she will be under general anesthesia so Dr. Robles, along with his team, can begin the abdominoplasty procedure. The area of the abdomen will be marked by lines that will be the guide to start the surgery.
It will begin with an incision that will cover the area of the pelvis below the belly button, which will be moved and later repositioned to achieve better results. Once the incision is made, Dr. Robles will proceed to drain the fat accumulations that cause a bad appearance in the patient, as well as the excess skin.
Once the fat and excess tissue has been removed, it is time for the doctor to reconstruct the abdominal wall. Then he will stitch up the abdominal muscles to bring them together and give a better appearance to the patient’s body.
Once the muscle suture has been passed, the skin is closed with the help of stitches in the treated area.
One of the last steps will be to rearrange the navel (belly button) so that the entire abdominal wall can be seen more aesthetically.
Occasionally, the Tummy Tuck Tijuana may be accompanied with a liposuction in areas such as the back, lower abdomen, and hips with procedures like a mommy makeover. This way, the patient will be able to obtain a more contoured figure. If the patient wishes, this surgery can be combined with liposuction procedures in the arms, between the legs and/or buttock lift.
The Tummy Tuck Tijuana procedure can take between 4 to 5 hours, depending on whether only this surgery will be performed.
Most patients are allowed to stay in the clinic overnight so Dr. Robles can monitor the post-surgical process. Once the patient has been discharged, he can return home without any problems.
The patient must follow the instructions given by Dr. Robles so that there are no complications in the healing process, and should take the pain medication assigned to them.
The patient must wear a special girdle that will help him/her to keep the abdomen area protected.
During the first days after the tummy tuck, the patient must sleep under a specific posture, which will be specified by Dr. Robles.
As far as nutrition is concerned, the patient must follow a healthy diet that is composed of low-fat foods. A healthy eating and an exercise program is essential to avoid weight gain and be able to enjoy the results of the tummy tuck.
Around the second week, the patient will be able to continue with his daily activities without making significant efforts. A light exercise routine can be included.
A month after the tummy tuck Tijuana the patient will be able to stop the medication and continue with their normal life.
This procedure is ideal for people who present flaccidity, excess skin due to weight loss, or protruding abdomen. It is indicated for any gender. If what you want is a less invasive treatment, you can ask for a mini tummy tuck
