In recent years, more and more customers have come to consult for tummy tuck.

Various strange spells and sayings often make guests confused. What exactly is the abdominal facelift that has become so popular in Europe and the United States in recent years?

Since 1899, many doctors have tried to use tummy tucks to address sagging abdominal fat in obese patients because they found that liposuction could not remove the loose skin. By 1980, more than 20 surgical methods had been proposed, which means two things:

• In order to solve a variety of different problems, tummy tucks have various incision designs, which means that this surgery has various indications.
• So many surgical procedures actually mean that abdominoplasty encountered many bottlenecks (complications) in the early stages of development, and therefore many doctors have been working hard to make breakthroughs.

This bottleneck remained until Matarasso proposed the abdominal wall vascular structure in 1988, which led to further breakthroughs. It was not until 2001 that Saldanha combined liposuction and abdominal lift to establish the current stable standard of liposuction and abdominal lift.

Regarding post-operative care, except for Type 4 and Type 5, which require maintaining a shrimp-like protective posture for one week after surgery, generally mini abdominal pull-ups can be upright immediately after surgery.
