Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty – Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a ‘tummy tuck’, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen with or without tightening the underlying abdominal wall muscles. The operation aims to reduce and improve the contour of the tummy.
Those most suited include healthy men and women who have excess skin and fat on their abdomen which are resistant to diet and exercise, women post pregnancy who have stretched skin and abdominal muscles which don’t return to their pre-pregnancy state, and people, who have undergone dramatic weight reductions and have excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles.
Why it’s done
The operation aims to reduce and improve the contour of the tummy.
Those most suited include healthy men and women who have excess skin and fat on their abdomen which are resistant to diet and exercise, women post pregnancy who have stretched skin and abdominal muscles which don’t return to their pre-pregnancy state, and people, who have undergone dramatic weight reductions and have excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles.
This operation is an opportunity to join together (plicate) the abdominal wall muscle and remove excess skin.
A tummy tuck is also an alternative for men or women who were obese at one point in their lives, and still have excessive fat deposits or loose skin in the abdominal area.
