What Is a Tummy Tuck

 


An abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck”, is a surgical procedure that makes the middle section of the body thinner and more firm. An abdominoplasty involves removing excess skin tissue and unwanted fat, while also tightening up muscles in the abdominal wall. This treatment can be used for a variety of reasons, but most people seek this treatment to:

  • Feel more confident
  • Look more fit
  • Be more healthy
  • Fit into clothes better
  • Achieve better body proportions

No matter what your reason is, if you are looking for a multipurpose treatment that tackles excess skin, unwanted body fat, and weak abdominal muscles at the same time, then abdominoplasty is likely a good choice for you.

What Is This Procedure Like?

Most people think of an abdominoplasty as a step up from liposuction, but to be clear, this procedure is a bit more invasive. Incisions will be made on your lower abdomen or around the belly button to remove excess skin tissues and body fat; then, the muscles of the abdomen will be tightened and reinforced against the abdominal wall by your surgeon. Depending on your treatment goals, this procedure can even help reduce the risk of certain medical issues, such as ventral hernias.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, which makes it a major surgery that you will need to be healthy for. You will be required to attend a consultation appointment and complete certain labs to ensure you are eligible for this treatment. This procedure can take one to five hours to complete depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.
