About
A tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen. During a tummy tuck excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.
Tummy Tuck can be preferred for the following conditions:
- Postpartum changes: Pregnancy and childbirth can lead to skin sagging and muscle weakness in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty can correct these changes.
- Excessive weight loss: Rapid weight loss can result in a sagging abdominal area. Abdominoplasty can address this issue.
- Effects of aging: The aging process reduces skin elasticity, which can cause sagging in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty can correct this sagging.
- Genetic factors: Some individuals may experience genetic sagging issues in the abdominal area.
