abdominoplasty surgery

abdominoplasty surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as ‘tummy tuck’ is a major surgical procedure involving the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdominal region with the aim of tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. It can significantly reduce the protrusion of the abdomen.

Who needs abdominoplasty?

Men and women, who are otherwise in good shape, but have a protruding abdomen due to fat deposit or loose skin that has not improved even with exercise, may be candidates for abdominoplasty. It is particularly popular among women, who, due to multiple pregnancies have lost the tightness of their tummies beyond the point where diet control and exercise can restore it.
