Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy Thailand Medical Package

Thaimed offer medical tourism packages to Bangkok, Thailand for many procedures including Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck Surgery

After pregnancy some women find it extremely difficult to reverse the changes in their abdominal shape, diet and exercise alone may not be enough to regain the figure they once had.

Instead of putting up with these unwanted pockets of fat many women opt for a plastic surgery procedure known as the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. This procedure can help eliminate both the tenacious fatty deposits and the excess skin around the stomach. Prominent abdominal scars like those sometimes seen after Caesarian delivery and other surgery can also be removed or improved during this abdominal sculpting.

A tummy tuck involves surgically removing excess skin and fat from the middle and lower part of the abdomen and sometimes tightening the abdominal muscles. If necessary, liposuction may be performed at the same time as the tummy tuck.

When To Have a Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck surgery may be right for you if you have:

• Excess abdominal skin due to pregnancy or weight loss
• Separated or weak abdominal muscles
• Abdominal out of proportion to the rest of your body
• Few results from exercise and dieting

Note: Recovery is often a slow process: it may take you several weeks to regain full mobility. You should consider having someone at hand who can help you with childcare during your recovery.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

• First an incision is made across the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. A second incision is then made in the belly button area.
• Through these incisions the surgeon stitches the loose or separated abdominal muscles from the left and right sides together, this will create a stronger, more firm abdominal wall.
• Excess skin is removed and the belly button is repositioned or recreated if needed.
• Then the incisions are sewn up and the outer stitches are removed 5 to 7 days afterwards. The remaining stitches are taken out after 2 to 3 weeks or dissolved.

Side effects may include swelling, pain, and bruising, as well as numbness and discomfort in the abdomen. These symptoms may be relieved by medication.

Ideally, women planning future pregnancies should consider waiting for tummy tuck surgery. The muscles that were tightened during abdominoplasty can separate again during pregnancy and the skin that is re-stretched may not return to normal proportions again. However if one was to become pregnant after having tummy tuck surgery, generally the baby’s health would not be at risk.

After abdominoplasty you will notice and instant difference in the shape of your tummy, unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight or become pregnant, your abdomen will remain firmer and flatter for many years.

The average cost of this procedure in the U.S is $5000+; however this is only for the surgeon’s fee. Additional costs for the surgical facility or hospital, anesthesia, medical tests and prescriptions can raise the total costs to way above the $7000 mark.
