Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure helps to restore a smoother and firmer abdomen, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy, which can leave the skin loose or stretched.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgeon makes an incision along the lower abdomen, usually just above the pubic area, and removes the excess skin and fat. In some cases, muscle repair is also necessary to restore a more toned appearance.

A tummy tuck can significantly improve the contour of the abdomen, creating a more youthful and slim appearance. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight after the surgery to maintain the results.
