Abdominoplasty in Tunisia : Cosmetic surgery of the belly

• After an abdominoplasty in Tunisia, it is recommended to avoid baths and swimming pools until complete healing (approximately after 3 weeks). Showers are generally allowed after the first week (after consulting your surgeon).
  Sports activities can be resumed after one month.
  It is recommended to avoid exposing the operated areas to the sun until the bruises disappear (a period that lasts between 2 and 3 weeks).
  An abdominal girdle must be worn permanently (day and night) for one month. However, it can be removed for the shower or the toilet, but must be put back on immediately afterwards.
  The first few nights, it is preferable to hold a slightly bent posture in order to relieve the skin tension.
  Lymphatic drainage is usually performed about 5 days after the procedure to help speed up the disappearance of swelling. It should be performed by a qualified physiotherapist for 2 weeks at a rate of 3 sessions per week.
  LPG (CELLU M6) is a good complement to liposuction. It allows to refine the result and to treat the cellulite often associated with abdominoplasty. It is recommended at a rate of 3 sessions per week, for a period of one month, starting the first month following the tummy tuck.

  The removal of excess skin in an abdominoplasty in Tunisia and the same for a thigh lift or arm lift does not cause the infections that occur in the skin folds (which otherwise occur due to poor hygiene and sweating).

• The incision for a full abdominoplasty requires a suprapubic cross-section, so the scar can be hidden in a bikini. Your surgeon will determine the shape and length of the incision based on your preferences and the amount of correction you need. You can also have an incision around the belly button (circular peri-umbilical scar).

  With a mini-abdominoplasty in cases of minimal skin laxity, the surgeon can place the incision as low as possible; it can be hidden in the pubic hair. The abdominal skin that is removed is below the navel, and there is no incision around the navel. The length of the mini-abdominal incision varies depending on how much skin your surgeon removes.

  The scars of an abdominoplasty in Tunisia take their final appearance in one year. However, the result can be appreciated after 3 to 6 months of healing when the pinkish aspect fades.

As far as anesthesia is concerned: during the consultation, the anesthesiologist will himself inform the patient of the anesthetic risks. The fact of having recourse to a perfectly competent anesthesiologist, practicing in a real surgical context (recovery room, possibility of resuscitation) means that the risks incurred have become statistically very low.

It is important to know that techniques, anesthetic products and monitoring methods have made immense progress over the last thirty years, offering optimal safety, especially when the operation is performed outside of an emergency and on a person in good health.

As far as the surgical procedure is concerned, by choosing a qualified and competent plastic surgeon, trained in this type of procedure, you limit these risks as much as possible, without however eliminating them completely.

Real complications are exceptional after an abdominoplasty in Tunisia: a great rigor in the choice of the indication and the surgical realization must ensure in practice an effective and real prevention.

For the sake of completeness, it is necessary to mention, despite their usual rarity

Thrombo-embolic accidents: wearing anti-thrombosis stockings, getting up early, and possible anti-coagulant treatment help to reduce this risk.
Bleeding is rarely serious, unless there is an associated coagulation disorder or the patient is taking medication that promotes bleeding.
Hematoma and lymphatic effusion appear exceptionally after a correctly performed abdominoplasty.
Similarly, localized skin necrosis, which lengthens the healing process and may leave scars, should no longer be observed.
Infection is rare in this type of “closed” surgery and can be prevented by prescribing a prophylactic antibiotic treatment.
Alterations in sensitivity can sometimes persist in the treated areas, but it usually returns to normal within 3 to 12 months.
