Abdominal plastic surgery is performed only on women?

No! Although very rare but it is also done on men. In practice, since regarding males there is no stretching of the abdominal skin during pregnancy, treatments of this type is almost exclusively in males after significant loss of body weight in the treatment of obesity. Tummy tuck is the most extensive aesthetic surgery, so you should expect a longer stay, 2-3 days in the clinic. In the first day after tummy tuck surgery the patient spends most of his time in bed, lying down or semi-sitting to reduce stomach tension. Later, the range of physical activity is gradually increased, so as to allow the normal functioning after returning home.

Tummy Tuck is fourth, as to the frequency of the world, in aesthetic surgery procedures. Every year, just in the United States, there are more than 170 000 such operations that are performed. Abdominoplasty procedure has only began to be performed at the beginning of the twentieth century. A pioneer was Dr Kelly, who first performed the tummy tuck in 1910. How fast a woman after childbirth may do abdominal plasty depends largely on how quickly it will contract the skin. Given the length of breastfeeding and its benefits for the baby it does not make sense to undergo a tummy tuck surgery faster than before 6 and preferably 9-12 months.
