An Easier Option For A Tummy Tuck Is The Scarless Tummy Tuck

The endoscopic tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is another name for scarless tummy tuck. This type of tummy tuck doesn’t mean you won’t have any scarring but it’s the only surgery with the least amount of scarring. Certain techniques and special instruments are used by cosmetic surgeon so the size and visibility of tummy tuck scars are greatly reduced.

An endoscopic tummy tuck is beneficial to the patient because there is less bleeding, swelling and bruises because of the smaller scars. Also, less anesthesia is needed for the shorter time period of this surgery which is an hour or two. This gives the patient a shorter recovery.

No skin is removed during a scarless tummy tuck. Candidates that are ideal for this type of surgery would be those with only fat in the lower abdominal region. If you have a protruding abdomen with only a small amount of excess skin than you may be able to have this surgery done.

It’s also recommended that patients have good skin elasticity before doing a scarless tummy tuck. You also need to be in good health and not have an immune disorder in order to be a good candidate. Any one with bronchitis or other breathing disorders, allergies to anesthesia or serious diseases shouldn’t have this surgery done.

You should also be a non-smoker or quit for a few weeks before the surgery. If you bleed easily than make sure you don’t take any drugs two weeks before the surgery that can cause excessive bleeding. Always tell you doctor about any health problems you have.

The surgeon performs a scarless tummy tuck by making several small incisions. The surgery is done through these incisions with an endoscope which is a lighted tube with a camera on the end of it. The incisions will be made along the pubic line and in and around the around the belly button so the scars will be concealed.

The navel isn’t usually repositioned with this type of surgery. The abdominal muscles will be tightened and sutured into place with long slender instruments. These instruments are made specifically for this type of surgery. The abdominal area will be restored to a toned appearance.

A scarless tummy tuck is not as invasive as a traditional tummy tuck so the recovery time is shorter. Some people can go about their normal activities within two weeks. Even though you may have some pain, swelling and bruising, there’s usually not too much swelling at the incisions since they are smaller and the blood loss is reduced.

Any pain experienced can be taken care of with an extra strength over the counter product. It’s important not to smoke during the healing process because it could make your recovery period longer. Its best not to do any strenuous exercise until you’re completed healed.
