Abdominoplasty,
more commonly referred to as a ‘tummy-tuck’
can dramatically tighten the abdominal muscles as well
as the sagging excess skin and accumulated fatty tissue.
Not only will the abdomen be firmer and flatter, but
the waist will be smaller as well. The amount of improvement
depends upon the extent of surgery and the patient's
skin tone, body build, and healing process. People report
of a better body image after surgery also.
Patients who contact us regarding this procedure tend
to have worked really hard to try and alter their body
shape through diets and exercise. However, following
the rigors caused by childbirth, abdominal surgery or
being overweight for a long period of time, you often
find that the skin has stretched (often causing stretch
marks) and the stomach muscles become slack so that
it will not return to its normal shape. No amount of
exercise or diet can give you the flat stomach that
you want and often the more weight you lose, the more
the problem worsens. The tummy tuck procedure, also
known as abdominoplasty, is the surgical process by
which excess fat & skin is removed from around the
waist to result in a flatter, lower body profile and
younger looking abdomen.
