During pregnancy or rapid weight gain skin stretches very fast without getting time to accommodate new condition. Collagen get over stretched and elastin fibers gets ruptured. Skin become thin and develop stretchmarks. Initially stretch marks are red and with time turn to white or pale.When person reduce the weight or deliver the baby,skin retracts to certain extent but doesn’t come to the normal condition and stretch mark remain forever.

• Fat Distribution Changes

During pregnancy there is a lot of increase in the female hormone in the circulation. Because of the hormonal changes lot of fat accumulate at and around the abdomen. during the massive weight gain there is a lot of fat accumulation take place. This fat is stubborn and don’t go after delivery or even after losing significant weight.

There is also accumulation of the fat in the liver or surrounding vital organ in the abdomen Therefore, the potbelly cannot be improved with the lipoabdominoplasty. Visceral fat reduces only when one follows a healthy lifestyle.

• Muscle Changes

As part of normal anatomy, there is a fine line (linea alba) between the two vertical rectus muscles in the front of the abdomen. These are the muscles that create a six-pack when well developed. Oblique muscles are attached laterally and go up to the back. The stretching of the abdominal wall occurs as a result of the natural transformation that occurs during pregnancy or after a major weight loss. But, in some women, the linea alba between the two muscles stretches and does not return to the normal and this is called diastasis recti. This stretching of oblique muscle makes the abdomen more protruding and pouch develops in the lower abdomen.

There are many variation and sub variations of tummy tuck surgery. It is the job of an expert cosmetic plastic surgeon to evaluate your tissue condition and plan best match surgery to give you desired abdominal shape

Plan for Tummy tuck surgery in men and women as both have different body structure

• Mini Tummy Tuck / endoscopic tummy tuck
• Standard/Traditional Tummy Tuck
• Lipoabdominoplasty/Brazilian tummy tuck
• Extended Tummy Tuck
• Torsoplasty – 360 Degree Tummy Tuck
• Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Belt Plasty, Lower Body Lift
• Dermolipectomy/Panniculectomy
• Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck

Type-1: Mini Tummy Tuck

For simplification,umbilicus is in centre of the abdomen, skin is there above and below it. When only skin below the umbilicus is extra, can be removed through the shorter scar. there would be no need for a scar around the umbilicus. A young post pregnantlady with good muscle tone and limited stretch mark is good candidate for mini tummy tuck surgery

If skin is in good condition, but muscle tone is weak, there is a need to plicate muscle up to chest bone. That can be done with the help of an endoscope, which is called endoscopic or endoscopic assisted abdominoplasty surgery.

When umbilicus is situated high on abdomen, very little skin is extra above the umbilicus, Floating Umbilicus technique can be applied without an umbilical surrounding scar. The umbilicus is detached from the underlying muscle and fixed at the new lower more appropriate location.

Mini tummy tuck or short scar is very attractive options but it has its own limitations. If performed without proper indication with only short scar motive, one may get awful result and regret in long term

Type-2: Standard Tummy Tuck/Full Tummy Tuck/Traditional Tummy Tuck

When a patient has a weakened abdominal muscle or they experience abdominal wall laxity, they may be a candidate for standard tummy tuck surgery.

First the skin cut is made low in the abdomen. Skin and fat undermined extensively. Wide skin flap is elevated till the chest bone.Diastasisof recti is repaired, the muscle edges are sutured together, thereby tucking in the loose abdominal wall. Sutures can also be placed on the facia of the abdominal oblique muscle of the abdominal wall to create a further tightening of the muscle and create the narrowness of the waist line.

Now skin is pulled down as much as possible and extra skin is cut. Free edge is sutured at l the lower ends. During this process, the extra skin along with stretch marks are removed maximally

 Limitations

• Patient has to remain bend and walk bending for long time.
• Comparatively large amount of fat stays back
• chances of complication are more

With the advent of Advanced liposuction use of classical tummy tuck is gradually reducing

Type-3: Lipoabdominoplasty/Brazilian Tummy Tuck

Abdominal fat has two components one has those fat that occurs beneath the skin and above the muscles of the abdominal wall. This fat is known as “pinchable fat,” and another component is that fat that occurs beneath the abdominal muscles surrounding viscera known as visceral fat. Thus, non-pinchable and pinchable fat is removed with liposuction.

In lipoabdominoplasty, pinchable fat and somatic fat are removed with advance liposuction and only the central part of the skin flap is dissected for muscle tightening.

Advantages of the Lipoabdominoplasty over standard tummy tuck are as follows:

• Fat is removed with advance liposuction results in a thinner abdomen.
• Liposuction sculpts the abdomen gives the more contoured natural looking flat abdomen.
• Skin slides better so more skin is excised.
• Skin sliding with vascularity maintained and thus it is safer.
• Scar can be planned at lower level quite below bikini line.
• Skin is not under much tension so scar will heal faster.
•  Scar will not widen with time as tension on scar line is less.
• As the skin tightens over the time, so the resultant scar is short
• A patient can walk straight on the same day, instead of bending unlike the standard tummy tuck
• Mons pubis also repositioned a gets tighter at a youthful level.
• Advanced technology such as Vaser “Liposelection” target only fat with a very minimal effect on the blood vessels, nerves, and structural tissues, which makes lipoabdominoplasty quite safer.
• A variation is High tension lipoabdominoplasty also tightens thigh skin and gives thigh lift, but it has some limitations.

Lipoabdominoplasty Limitations

1. Well expirience surgeon. One must be knowing from where to remove and where not to remove fat and where to stop liposuction.
2. He must be very gentle to do suction.
3. Use of advance liposuction technology like vaser cost more

Type-4: Extended Tummy Tuck

Normally tummy tuck incision extends from one hip bone to another one. As such no one wants a cut or surgery. But when there is extra skin on the lateral abdomen or a large amount of fat on laterally (big love handle), one has to extend the incisionbeyond hip to remove and tighten the abdominal skin, which is called an extended tummy tuck. Such tummy tuck surgery in man or woman also lifts the lateral thigh skin.

Type-5: Torsoplasty – 360 Degree Tummy Tuck

When lipoabdominoplasty is combined with liposuction of back, bra roll and hip area, it is called torsoplasty, which gives narrow waist line. One can get hourglass shape or “V” shape torso.

Type-6: Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Belt Plasty, Lower Body Lift

After massive weight loss or a large amounts of fat liposuction, there is evident extra skin on backside also. To remove this extra skin, an incision is made till back and meet each other in the mid line, which is called circumferential or belt lipectomy. It also tightens the lateral thigh skin and lifts the butt.

1. Belt plasty

Incision of Circumferential torosoplastyis little up on hip. It gives better waist line but lowerbody or butt will not be lifted much.

2. Lower body lift

Incision of Circumferential torosoplastyis comparatively lower levelIit lifts butt and lower body /thigh nicely. Trade of is waist line will be not as good as beltplasty.

Type-7: Dermolipectomy/Panniculectomy

When only the skin is loose and muscle tone is very good and rectii are attached to each other in the mid-line, there is no need to plicate muscle. Only skin excision is done, which is called dermolipectomy or the only skin abdominoplasty. As muscle is not tightened, recovery is very fast. So many men just require dermolipectomy.

Dermolipectomy is also performed in elderly or obese means less fit patient if they are disabled to take personal hygiene care because of hanging pendulum of abdomen.

Type-8: Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck

After massive weight loss skin is extra not only in a vertical dimension but also in a horizontal dimention. in such situation

When skin is too much in excess in a both dimension, It require excision in horizontal and vertical direction. the fleur de lis name is derived from this type of incision. After removing fat and tightening of muscle, the skin is excised in three petal shapes. One reaches up to breast bone and two going lateral around the hip bone. The skin is pulled down and centrally. The resultant incision is like an inverted “T” shape.

Marking

On the day of surgery, again lipoabdominoplasty plan is discussed again. Meticulous marking is done for liposuction area, skin incision, muscle tightening. The low placement of the suture line is done.

In the Operation Theater

Anesthesia

Usually done under general anesthesia

Liposuction

Liposuction is a part of modern tummy tuck surgery. The surgery begins with tumescent infiltration and Vaser Liposuction of somatic fat/or localized fat deposits is done. In case of torsoplasty, first, back liposuction is done.

Incision

Skin is pulled up and low incision under bikini line is taken. The length depends on the amount of extra skin to be removed for tightened abdomen. The skin flap is elevated from the underlying muscle and umbilicus is left attached to the muscle. As much aspossible, the skin is excised to give good abdominal shape.

Muscle Tightening

The separated rectus muscle is plicated in a mid-line from below the chest bone to the pubic bone. If needed lateral plication of the oblique muscle is done to further tighten muscles to give the hourglass shape of the tummy.

Transposition of Umbilicus

The umbilicus is fixed to the underlying muscle at the aesthetically appropriate location. A hole is created in a skin flap at the same location. The umbilicus is fixed to the skin flap in such a manner that the suture line goes deep in an invisible position.

Deep sitted umbilicus looks natural Umbilicalus shape can be discussed and plan Like vertical shape oval shape or round shape.

If the umbilicus is highly positioned and skin above the umbilicus is not much extra, floating the umbilicus technique can be used to avoid circum polar scarring.

Mons pubis lift: Vulva and external genitalia hang due to the laxity of skin post-pregnancy and post-weight loss. Mons is pulled up and fixed at a higher level.

Skin Closure:

Skin suturing is done in layers with buried suture. Care is taken that the suture line remains below the bikini line. One should be able to wear a swimsuit easily.

Finishing Liposuction

Minor asymmetry is corrected and sculpting of the abdomen is done. Extra fluid is aspirated.

With drain or Drain less Abdominoplasty

Before closure, the drain is used and fixed depending on the surgical extent to drain out the fluid and broken fat. When the drain is not used, it is called drain less abdominoplasty. The tissue of the abdominal wall is sutured with quilting suture so tissue stitch to each other faster. However, drainless technique takes longer time and so anesthesia time.

Abdominoplasty Surgery Result depends on

• Extent of the surgery.
• Individual healing process.
• Technique and technology used,
• purpose, and the end goal of the surgery and
• Operating surgeon’s hand to a very extent.

One must follow cosmetic surgeon advice to get best result. You can see Tummy tuck surgery result as follows

• Immediately: There is a huge difference in your contour. Imagine how delighted your new look will be?
• 1^st week: Some swelling will be there, closed drainage will have more swelling. whereas open drainage will have less swelling,
• 1^st MONTH:Major result is visible over a month as the majority of the swelling has been reduced now.
• 6^th -8^th MONTHS: A complete result of tummy tuck surgery in men or woman will be visible
• 8^th-12^th MONTHS: Collagen synthesis and skin tightening take place.
• The lipoabdominoplasty surgery result is faster with open drainage technique compared to closed drainage technique.
• In most of the patient, fat cell can increase in size but can’t multiply. Fat rarely comes back in the abdominal wall area.
• There is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain the best and permanent results.

Likewise any surgical procedure, tummy tuck surgery in men and women also has some risks and complications.

There are 2 most important factors that reduce the risk & complications mentioned below:

1. Expert tummy tuck surgeon and
2. NABH Accredited cosmetic surgery center with an overnight facility

The risk of complications increases WHILE r doing multiple procedures at the same operation session.

 Tummy tuck Surgery specific complications:

• Bleeding: it is very rare as, blunt cannula is used for liposuction
• Infection: Surgical site infection is rare but possible. A severe skin infection may be life-threatening.
• Fluid accumulation: Accumulation of fluid is called a seroma. Small seroma gets absorbed by itself. This fluid may need to be drained with a needle. Open drainage technique reduces seroma
•  Wound healing problem; when skin is suture too tight or fat layer is thick, or patient is a smoker, wound healing problem can take place., which delays recovery may need revision surgery.
• Contour irregularities: Skin may look irregular, bumpy, or wavy due to uneven fat removal, poor healing, or thinly stretched skin. These changes may be permanent. Even difficult to reduce with revision
• Spot/ pigmentations: Skin may appear spotted, but rarely does it become permanent.
• Numbness: One may have temporary or permanent numbness in the operative area.
• Hyperesthesia: due to temporary nerve irritation is also possible.
• Fat embolism: Again very rare, can happen with mega liposuction. Broken fat may travel through the blood and gather in the lungs or to the brain. A fat embolism is a medical emergency.
• Kidney and heart problems: As a large quantity of fluid is injected and suctioned out as it can cause potentially life-threatening kidney, heart, or lungs problem.
• Lidocaine toxicity: Lidocaine is an anesthetic drug in infiltration fluid. Although it is safe, in a rare circumstance, lidocaine toxicity can occur, causing serious heart and central nervous system problems.
• Internal puncture: It is extremely rare. A cannula can go too deep, may puncture an internal organ. This may require emergency surgical repair.

Anaesthesia related complications:

Small reaction to major reaction or fluid imbalance can happen. And it is rarest rare death can happen.

For a safe & comfortable tummy tuck surgery recovery it is needed to:

1. Follow your surgeon’s guidelines
2. Take prescribed medicinesregularly
