What Can An Abdominoplasty Do For Me?

Abdominoplasty can be a great solution for those looking to improve:

What is an Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that addresses the effects of time, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations on your midsection. Over time, skin loses elasticity and can stretch, leading to a loose appearance in the abdomen. Abdominoplasty tackles this concern by removing excess skin, creating a smoother and tighter profile. Additionally, stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise can be addressed through liposuction techniques often incorporated into the procedure. This combined approach helps achieve a flatter, more sculpted abdomen.

Abdominoplasty doesn’t stop at aesthetics. Weak abdominal wall muscles, a common consequence of pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, can also be addressed. The procedure involves tightening these muscles, leading to not only a visually improved abdomen but also functional benefits like better core support.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Abdominoplasty Surgery?

The best candidates are in good physical condition with pockets of fat or loose skin that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. Older, slightly obese people whose skin has lost some of its elasticity can be helped. Abdominoplasty can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy, although results from the procedure will diminish if they continue to bear children. For this reason, women who plan to have children again are advised to delay abdominoplasty. Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight are also encouraged to wait before undergoing the procedure since skin in that area typically loosens after substantial weight loss.

The procedure takes approximately two to three hours and can be performed with general or local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months, but with a balanced diet and regular exercise, the results are long-lasting.

With proper care and weight management, the results of abdominoplasty can be long-lasting. You can expect a flatter, more toned abdomen and improved self-confidence. However, some degree of skin laxity may return over time due to the natural aging process.
