| Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Surgery in Indiana
Abdominoplasty procedures may vary and depend
on the individual patient’s skin quality and fat deposition.
Frequently, Abdominoplasty is combined with liposuction to give
results that surpass those obtained by either procedure alone.
The High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
combines skin excision and liposuction for abdominal contour
improvement. With this technique for abdominoplasty, lateral
tension is emphasized because tissue laxity increases from the
midline laterally (to the sides) with age and/or with weight
fluctuation. Permanent stitches are used to secure the deep
fat layers of tissue which creates a more narrow scar and prevents
a "ledge" effect which occurs if absorbable stitches
are used on the deep fat layers. An internal corset is created
by suturing the tissue which surrounds the muscles of the abdomen.
The belly button position is transposed. Liposuction of the
upper and lateral abdomen improves appearance and not infrequently
allows the contour of the upper abdomen to show definition where
it did not exist before. Not only is the abdomen tightened with
this technique, but the anterior thigh is also lifted as well.
These features are unique to the High Lateral Tension abdominoplasty
technique, and are not as readily achieved (if at all) with
traditional abdominoplasty techniques.
When the High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
is combined with liposuction of the back and flank regions,
the operation becomes one of Total Truncal Rejuvenation. People
often don’t initially consider liposuction of their backs and
flanks because they do not often look at themselves from behind.
However, the combination of the High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
and back and flank liposuction allows improvement of the whole
torso and often improves the way clothes fit.
