Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
Description
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, removes excess saggy skin and fat from the abdomen to achieve a redefined, firmer and smoother abdominal contour. The procedure is suitable for both males and females, and is commonly used to treat saggy post-weight loss skin and mummys tummys.
Benefits
A firmer, smoother and tighter abdomen brings many benefits for most patients. These include:
- A return to a more youthful and balanced physique.
- A decrease in physical symptoms attributable to the excess skin and fat around the abdomen.
- Improved self-confidence in social settings.
- A change in body form and image allowing a wider range of clothing possibilities.
Results
You can expect a smoother, flatter and firmer abdomen with an enhanced appearance. Usually the umbilicus (tummy button) changes shape and is left in a more vertically orientated shape resembling that of a youthful abdomen. Your incision scar should be both as short as possible and, ideally, located low enough on the abdomen that it is easily covered by your underwear or a bathing suit.
