We know! Looking perfect in the summer is the dream of many. That’s why more and more women between the ages of 27 and 45 are opting for some type of aesthetic treatment or plastic surgery to help them shape their body and achieve the figure they have always wanted. One of the most demanded procedures in Tijuana —and in the world in general—is the Tummy Tuck surgery or abdominoplasty. Do you want to know what it consists of? In this article, we tell you all about this practice, and we tell you what you have to take into account to have a Tummy Tuck in Tijuana.
What is the Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery is a surgical intervention in which excess fat and skin is removed from the abdomen, and abdominal muscles that have weakened over time, or have undergone dramatic changes due to weight loss or pregnancy, are repaired.
Through this procedure, the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened and the excess skin is removed, thus correcting the flaccidity of the abdomen and obtaining as a result a firmer and flatter abdominal area.
It should be noted that there are different types of Tummy Tuck. The two main ones are:
1- Full Tummy Tuck: for patients who suffer from excess skin above and below the navel, a full tummy tuck is recommended, which requires a U-shaped incision from hip to hip and tightens the muscles of the entire abdominal wall. In this way, a much more aesthetic appearance can be achieved, and excess skin can be removed. As a result, the patient can show off a flatter abdomen and look better in any outfit.
2- Mini Tummy Tuck: for many patients, the “tummy” below the navel is very uncomfortable. In these cases, a mini tummy tuck may be ideal. The main purpose of this procedure is to tighten the skin and muscles of the lower abdomen. Although it does not correct as much as a full tummy tuck, it produces a superior correction to liposuction in patients with lax skin and a disproportionate fat mass between the navel area and the pubic region. In addition, the recovery time is much less than a full tummy tuck.
Who are candidates for a Tummy Tuck in Tijuana?
- Those whose bodies do not respond to diet or exercise.
- Women who have gained and lost a lot of weight.
- Those who experience loss of elasticity.
- People who are overweight during pregnancy, especially those whose abdominal muscles have weakened due to twin or multiple pregnancies.
Now, in order to determine the type of tummy tuck that best suits your expectations and needs, it is necessary that you consult with an experienced physician who can guide you through the process and explain the different alternatives. The result: a flat stomach without excess fat.
Is it safe to have a tummy tuck in the summer?
Many patients are reluctant to undergo cosmetic surgical treatments during the summer due to sun exposure and heat. However, it is essential to take proper precautions to protect yourself from the sun, regardless of whether you are in a postoperative process, such as avoiding prolonged exposure and using sunscreen during certain times of the day.
Although sun exposure can cause the appearance of hard-to-remove stains on scars, hematomas or bruises, it is important to follow the plastic and cosmetic surgeon’s recommendations and avoid sun exposure in the first weeks after surgery. This is valid for any time of the year and should not be a reason to postpone surgery.
Why choose Tijuana for tummy tuck surgery?
If you are considering undergoing tummy tuck surgery, there are several reasons why you should consider Tijuana as a medical destination to have it performed. From our point of view, some main ones are:
- More affordable costs: the Mexican city offers significantly lower costs than the United States and Canada, while maintaining the same quality of service. So, save money without sacrificing quality!
- Quality: if there is something that characterizes this destination, it is that it has well-equipped facilities to carry out medical procedures, as well as the quality of the professionals. Many of them have studies and specializations in the United States and even in other countries of the world.
Proximity to the United States: located on the United States-Mexico border, Tijuana is an easily accessible destination—especially for those traveling from Southern California.
Although this Mexican border city offers a lot of economic savings, it is important that you take all the necessary precautions before performing this and any surgical procedure. Thoroughly research the surgeon and/or clinic chosen, as well as having a conversation with the surgeon himself, are some of the steps we recommend you to follow to ensure optimal results.
