Abdominoplasty

Also known as tummy tuck surgery, an abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.

A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals.

Even individuals or otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include :

  • Pregnancy
  • Aging
  • Significant fluctuation in weight
  • Heredity
  • Prior surgery

Tummy tuck surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

 

Abdominoplasty is a good option for you if :

  • You are Physically healthy and at a stable weight
  • You have realistic expectations
  • You do not smoke

Although the results of an abdominoplasty procedure are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may advised to postpone abdominoplasty surgery.

 

What a tummy tuck procedure won’t do :

Tummy tucks surgery is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. Also, abdominoplasty can not correct stretch marks, although these may removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally the treated areas below the belly button.

Where are the scars after a rhinoplasty ?
