📌 Is a Tummy Tuck a Major Surgery? Here’s What You Should Know Before Going Under the Knife
A tummy tuck — or abdominoplasty — may promise dramatic body contouring results, but make no mistake: it’s a major surgical procedure. 💉 Here's a full breakdown of what that means and why it's crucial to be well-prepared.
🛌 Why It’s Considered Major Surgery
A tummy tuck isn’t just a “nip and tuck.” It involves:
🔹 General anesthesia
🔹 A long incision along the lower abdomen
🔹 Removal of excess skin and fat
🔹 Tightening of weakened abdominal muscles
🔹 In some cases, repositioning of the belly button
The recovery process can take several weeks, and because it affects core muscles, even simple movements like sitting up or coughing can be uncomfortable at first.
⚠️ Potential Risks and Complications
As with any major operation, there are possible risks, including:
❗ Bleeding or infection
❗ Blood clots
❗ Delayed wound healing
❗ Fluid buildup (seroma)
❗ Scarring
Choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon and following post-op care instructions can significantly reduce these risks.
🔀 When It Gets More Complex
Sometimes, a tummy tuck is combined with liposuction or a breast procedure (e.g. as part of a Mommy Makeover). This turns it into a multi-procedure surgery, which may increase both operating time and recovery needs — but also delivers more complete body transformation.
