Full Body Tummy Tuck | From Flanks to Waist, Complete Body Contouring
A full body tummy tuck is a transformative procedure that goes beyond a traditional tummy tuck, sculpting the abdomen, waist, and sometimes even the lower back and thighs. Dr. Deon specializes in providing personalized care and advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal results for each patient. Understanding the process helps you prepare both physically and mentally for your transformation journey.
Understanding a Full Body Tummy Tuck
A full body tummy tuck is designed for patients looking to achieve a smoother, firmer, and more contoured body profile. Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which focuses solely on the abdomen, this procedure may address surrounding areas like the flanks, lower back, and hips to create a harmonious silhouette. Dr. Deon’s expertise ensures that each contour is sculpted with precision for natural-looking results.
The Consultation Process
The first step involves a detailed consultation with Dr. Deon. During this appointment:
- Your medical history and overall health are reviewed.
- Specific areas of concern are discussed.
- A customized surgical plan is developed based on your body type and desired outcome.
This personalized approach ensures safety, efficiency, and results that meet your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Surgery
Full body tummy tuck surgery typically follows these steps:
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia ensures comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
- Incision: Dr. Deon makes precise incisions tailored to your body shape and the areas requiring contouring.
- Tissue Tightening: Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying muscles are tightened for a firm abdominal wall.
- Contour Enhancement: Flanks, waist, and sometimes lower back areas are sculpted to create a smooth, natural curve.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures, and drains may be placed to prevent fluid buildup.
The surgery usually lasts several hours, depending on the complexity and areas treated.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is an essential part of achieving the best results. Dr. Deon provides detailed aftercare instructions, including:
- Wearing compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling.
- Avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks.
- Attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.
Most patients begin noticing significant improvements within a few weeks, with final results appearing as swelling subsides over several months.
