Belly Lift Sculpting Surgery
Bariatric surgery is NOT what belly lift sculpting is!
First, it’s important to understand that having an abdominal facelift won’t help you lose weight. Changes in food, activity, and lifestyle are still necessary for weight loss. Even medicines and surgery are required for those who are morbidly obese to lose the optimum amount of weight.
Belly Sculpting is not a procedure for shedding pounds! The final stretch of weight loss, though!
Tummy tuck surgery: What is it?
Tummy tuck surgery, often referred to as abdominal face lift sculpture surgery, uses surgical techniques to suture and divide the rectus abdominis fascia, remove the abdominal epidermis, and remove subcutaneous fat that has accumulated in the abdomen and waist with liposuction. In most cases, postpartum and weight loss are to blame for this extra skin and fat.
The primary goal of abdominal facelift sculpture surgery is to partially remove the “subcutaneous fat” and unattractive collected epidermis. It also separates and restores the rectus abdominis fascia. Reminding the visitors who are considering abdominal face lift sculpture surgery that maintaining a healthy weight after surgery and combining it with regular exercise will help them reach their ideal body shape is vital. Weight loss is required because abdominal facelift and sculpture surgery are ineffective for treating intra-abdominal fat.

Who is suitable for tummy tuck surgery?
Patients who have uneven fat deposits on their belly and waist and epidermal cells are good candidates for abdominal lifting sculpture surgery. It is challenging for customers with these issues to wear stylish swimwear and form-fitting clothing since these epidermal and fat accumulations generate ugly body lines on the waist and abdomen. Due to too much epidermis, clothes might potentially infect people and create eczema.

How is the tummy tuck surgery carried out?
Lower abdominal face lift and local liposuction sculpting lines are two abdominal face lift procedures that typically need to be done under general anesthesia. To lessen intraoperative blood loss and reflex pain, the doctor will first inject the diluted analgesic and hemostatic saline solution into the subcutaneous fat in the region where the epidermal excision and liposuction are planned.
Lower Belly Lift
The lower abdomen’s incision will be concealed where the bikini can cover.
Small abdominal facelift: The loose epidermal skin is excised and directly sutured;
Abdominal Facelift: For those with loose epigastric skin, a wider range of belly removal and sutures to separate the rectus abdominis fascia are required, and the position of the navel also needs to be changed.
Liposuction Sculpting Waist and Abdominal Lines
Near the liposuction site, which is simple to hide, several tiny incisions between 0.5 and 1 cm are made. A liposuction tube is then inserted through these tiny wounds to remove the local hyperplasia fat.

Recovery process and post-operative care
1. To lessen discomfort and bruising, it is advised to apply ice for 10
minutes every hour for the first 5-7 days following eyelid surgery.
2. For three days following surgery, prophylactic oral antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, detumescence, and other medications will be administered.
3. To replace the dressing, eye ointment will be prescribed by eyelid wound care. Once each in the morning and evening, change your clothes. Clean the site with normal saline or boiled water, remove any scabs or secretions, and then apply fresh ointment.
4. A week following the procedure, the sutures will be taken out.
5. It is advised to warm the skin (to the temperature of face wash water in the morning in winter) for 10 minutes every hour after the stitches are removed to hasten the healing of bruises.
6.Each person’s level of postoperative swelling and bruising is different. It usually becomes apparent three to four days following surgery, and most people can feel better approximately two weeks later.
7. After the procedure, you can wash your face as usual, take a bath, dry your skin right away, and then apply the ointment. But refrain from swimming, wading in the stream alongside the sea, and taking a dip in the hot springs.
8. After surgery, stay away from strenuous activities like hard training, running, mountaineering, rock climbing, etc. It may raise blood pressure, result in bleeding, or leave wounds open. The diet is generally healthy, but stay away from alcohol, smoke, and spicy food (too spicy and salty)

Sequelae and Complications
1.Asymmetry is the most frequent side effect of eyelid surgery, and
some individuals require revision surgery.
2. There is a danger of infection, hemorrhage, inadequate wound healing, etc. with any operation.
3. Although all surgeries leave scars, the plastic surgeon will meticulously stitch and use extremely thin sutures to tuck the scars into the creases of the skin and the borders of the hair, making them less noticeable and more difficult to locate. Even so, the scar may still be momentarily red and elevated (1-2 months after the operation) until it stabilizes, but after two to six months the scar will often gradually fade and become less noticeable.

Any surgery or treatment carries risks, and the results can differ depending on the patient's condition. Each patient may require a different type of surgery and treatment. Complete communication and in-depth examination with the surgeon are necessary prior to surgery.
