Abdominoplasty is also known as a "tummy tuck".
This procedure helps flatten the stomach and can dramatically
reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
Abdominoplasty, also known as a Tummy Tuck, is the surgery
of the abdomen to remove the excess skin and fat that may
accumulate after pregnancy, obesity or age.
Am I a candidate for Abdominoplasty?
An individual must be in good health, not have any active
diseases or serious, pre-existing medical conditions and must
have realistic expectations of the outcome of their surgery.
This is an operation which requires patience and stability
in dealing with the healing period. There is sometimes a lull
or depression after surgery and if there is already a pre-existing
emotional problem, this low period can develop into a more
serious issue. Please consider this before committing to a
procedure. If the above describes you and you have the desire
to rid yourself of loose sagging skin of the abdominal area,
you may be a good candidate for Abdominoplasty.
Normally women seek this procedure after pregnancy - although
it is advised to wait until you are finished having children
to have this procedure as the skin and muscles can get stretched
out again as well as the dangers of your newly taut skin being
unable to accommodate another pregnancy.
Also, if you are considering losing weight you should wait
until after your desired weight is met.
When is Abdominoplasty
usually performed?
The Abdominoplasty procedure is usually performed when a person
is discontent with their appearance in the abdomen region.
