Abdominoplasty

A smooth and well-toned torso is one thing many people aim for with exercise and weight control. If this is ineffective for you an abdominoplasty may be what's best. Even people with normal body weight and proportion can grow an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. Some common causes include pregnancy, aging, significant, fluctuations in weight, genetics, and prior surgery.

Abdominoplasty: The Tummy Tuck

Also known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin, and often restores weakened or separated muscles, forming a tummy profile that is smoother and firmer.

A tummy tuck will not substitute for weight loss or an exercise program. Though the results of a tummy tuck are permanent, the positive outcomes can be undone by large fluctuations in weight. Anyone who is planning substantial weight loss or someone who is considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck procedure.
