Tummy Tuck & Abdominoplasty<\/p><\/h1><\/div>
Abdominoplasty encompasses the following procedures:<\/p>\n
Laxity of the abdominal wall and overlying skin is common after pregnancy and weight loss in both men and women. The underlying muscle tone becomes obscured by loose skin and in some cases excess fat, which prevents patients from attaining an aesthetically pleasing body contour. During pregnancy and weight gain, the abdominal wall muscles are stretched and often remain so following delivery or weight loss. During the abdominoplasty procedure, excess skin and fat are removed and the muscles are tightened like a corset to achieve a flat, toned profile and waistline. Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction of the flanks in order to synergistically narrow the waistline and re-establish natural aesthetic curves.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the muscle laxity is confined to the lower abdomen and the skin excess is minimal. In these cases, you may be a candidate for a mini abdominoplasty whereby the lower abdomen is tightened, and the excess skin removed. The incision is typically much shorter, and the recovery period is condensed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
