Tummy Tuck Procedure
Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck as
it is commonly known, is a procedure that minimizes the abdominal area.
With tummy tuck surgeries, the surgeon makes a long incision from one
side of the hipbone to the other. Excess fat and skin are surgically removed
from the middle and lower abdomen, and the muscles of the abdomen wall
are tightened. A less complex procedure is called a "mini tummy tuck,"
or a partial abdominoplasty. This tummy tuck procedure is ideal for individuals
who have fat deposits limited to the area below the navel. The best candidates
for tummy tuck are men or women who are in good physical condition, but
are bothered by large fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that does not
respond to diet or exercise. Cosmetic repair of the abdomen can be helpful
in improving appearance, especially after massive weight gain and loss.
Tummy tuck can help flatten the lower abdomen and tighten stretched skin.
Tummy tucks are one of the more common cosmetic surgery procedures. Multiple
pregnancies or big fluctuations in weight can stretch muscle and skin
beyond the point where they return to normal. This causes many women to
seek surgical removal of the excess abdominal fat and loose skin through
tummy tuck surgeries.
