WHAT IS ABDOMINOPLASTY?

 The surgery that tucks in the stomach fat is called ‘Tummy Tuck’ or Abdominoplasty. This surgery flattens the abdomen by removing the excess fat and skin on the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles that enhance the shape and appearance of the abdomen by creating a more toned look of the remaining skin. Abdominoplasty is not the same as liposuction. Although in some cosmetic surgeries, you may choose Tummy Tuck surgery along with Liposuction. 

WHO NEEDS ABDOMEN REDUCTION?

There are several reasons for having extra weight or weakened tissues in the abdomen that needs abdomen reduction surgery including:

  • Pregnancy 
  • Aging
  • Significant weight changes
  • Abdominal C-section 
  • Natural body type with excess fat

The Abdominoplasty can remove the excess fat and skin on the abdomen as well as tightens the weak abdominal muscles. It can also help to remove stretch marks in the lower abdomen under the belly. 

SURGICAL OPTIONS


Partial or Mini Abdominoplasty is done with smaller incisions for people with less excess skin. No incision is made near the naval area, the surgeon will separate the skin between the line of incision and the belly button.

For the patients who need more correction, this option is most suitable. The surgeon makes a cut at the bikini line and will then remove the fatty tissues and loosen the skin in the abdomen to make it flatter. The incision around the naval is made to free the skin from the tissues.
