From one simple step, such as choosing your cosmetic surgeon, you can navigate through multiple stages leading up to obtaining anesthesia – creating an endless number of choices along the way!
What is a 360 tummy tuck?
In the medical world, a 360° operating microscope is commonly used for performing surgeries that require an exceptionally small incision; this method gives practitioners an unprecedented ability to cut into their patients’ bodies.
The 360° tummy tuck procedure uses a deep incision similar to standard abdominoplasty surgery. Afterward, the excess skin and fat are removed, giving you a slimmer figure while enhancing your contours.
The 360° tummy tuck was originally designed as a less aggressive alternative to traditional incisions.
Who is a suitable candidate?
Individuals with a BMI of 30 or more form the ideal patient base for a tummy tuck. Individuals who are worried about gaining weight after pregnancy should give this procedure another thought!
On average, those who have undergone a 360° tummy tuck were aged 38-54 years old with an additional 2% being over 55 years of age. However, procedures can be completed at any age provided that the doctor and patient agree on what is best.
How The 360 Tummy Tuck Works
If you have enjoyed indulging in activities that trigger backlash from your tummy area, such as prolonged periods of sitting or prolonged periods of intense exercise – it could be time for a change! After all, the human body was created for ease and comfort.
As we age, our metabolism slows down; this means fewer calories are being assimilated into our bodies. With fewer calories available to sustain us through the day, our bodies tend to gravitate towards any energy reserves we may have remaining – which can often result in weight gain! This is why it is important to regularly engage in activities that promote fat loss; after all, if you possess extra fat deposits within even one region of your body they will almost certainly appear elsewhere.
The 360 Tummy Tuck employs selective liposuction to remove excess fat that has accumulated over time elsewhere on your body. This process focuses specifically on the lower portion of the stomach (below the level of the lumbar spine), removing fat cells while preserving underlying tissues.
How is surgery performed?
This advanced surgery is performed using various approaches. Your physician may opt for a midline incision, T-cut or vertical incision depending on your body’s configuration and desired outcome.
Midline incisions are typically the most convenient option for those seeking quick recoveries and recovery times of only one night after surgery. However, any incision must be well-planned to successfully minimize scarring.
An incision will be made along the navel and then proceed upwards toward the umbilicus. This creates an opening through which fat and skin can be excised from a specific area of the body; in this case – around the abdomen region!
What is my recovery going to be like?
Afterward, you will experience some discomfort along with an extended period of rest as your body undergoes a healing process.
Typically, post-operative care could last anywhere from one to two weeks. During this time you’ll need to remain in the confines of an elevated bed and refrain from strenuous activities such as lifting objects or bending over. At any stage if you begin experiencing discomfort or find yourself unable to sleep; contact your doctor immediately!
Don’t fret if you experience nausea or weakness during this time – it’s perfectly normal!
