ABDOMINOPLASTY
Aesthetic surgery of the abdomen, also called abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck, is designed to smooth and firm your abdomen. The procedure removes excess abdominal skin and may also reduce fat and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The result is a flatter abdominal profile.
You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if you have one of the following conditions:
- Excess or sagging abdominal skin.
- An abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of your body.
- Abdominal muscles that have separated and weakened.
- Excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your abdomen.
Where are the incisions placed? Generally a horizontal incision is placed within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision depends upon the amount of skin to be removed. There are some variations to the common abdominoplasty techniques and these will be discussed on an individual basis during your consultation.
Abdominoplasty is a very popular procedure with the ever increasing visualization of the mid section in fashion.
