“At Ashbury Clinic, we have successfully provided thousands of people with the extra help needed to sculpt and slim their figure.” – Dr James Chen
At Ashbury Clinic in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, our abdominoplasty procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower regions of your abdomen and the tightening of the muscles in the abdominal wall. The most popular reasons why patients may choose to undergo this procedure include:
This procedure can be performed as a partial (mini-tuck) or full procedure (full tummy tuck) and can be used in conjunction with other procedures to achieve the desired result. Partial and full abdominoplasty procedures are generally performed as an outpatient procedure under general or local anaesthetic.
Walking and getting out of bed should be avoided in the first 12 hours after surgery, and ideally you will be positioned with your feet and head elevated at 30 degrees in order to relieve the tension on the suture line of the tummy tuck. On the first day following surgery you may begin walking with help, and it is not recommended that you drive or ride in a car for the first 5 to 6 days following surgery (unless you are visiting our office for a post-operative visit).
You should be walking in a bent over position and should not attempt to stand straight up for the first 5 days following surgery.
After approximately 2 weeks, all sutures will be removed and we recommend that sports and vigorous activities are avoided for four weeks following surgery. Each recovery is different with some patients returning to work within two weeks, while others may take 3 to 4 weeks to return to normal activities.
This type of procedure generally achieves long-lasting results if complimented by a healthy diet and exercise routine.
