What Is Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) ?
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape and appearance
of the abdomen. During this transformative surgery, excess skin and stubborn fat are
meticulously removed from the abdominal area. Additionally, the connective tissue (fascia) in
the abdomen is tightened using sutures, resulting in a more toned and sculpted look.
Why Consider a Tummy Tuck?
1. Excess Fat and Skin: If you struggle with loose skin or excess fat around your bellybutton
or lower abdominal region, a tummy tuck can address these concerns effectively.
2. Post-Pregnancy Changes: Pregnancy can lead to stretched abdominal muscles and skin.
A tummy tuck can restore your pre-pregnancy contours.
3. Weight Fluctuations: Significant weight loss or gain can leave behind sagging skin.
Abdominoplasty helps remove this excess tissue.
4. Stretch Marks: While a tummy tuck won’t erase stretch marks entirely, it can eliminate
them from the lower abdomen below the bellybutton.
5. Combination Procedures: Abdominoplasty can be combined with other body contouring
surgeries, such as breast procedures, for a comprehensive transformation.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
While a tummy tuck offers remarkable benefits, it’s essential to consider the following factors:
• Weight Goals: If you plan to lose a significant amount of weight, it’s advisable to reach
your goal before undergoing abdominoplasty.
• Future Pregnancy: If you’re considering pregnancy in the future, timing your tummy tuck
appropriately is crucial.
• Health Conditions: Severe chronic conditions, high BMI, and smoking may affect your
eligibility for the procedure.
• Previous Abdominal Surgeries: Extensive scar tissue from prior surgeries might impact
the outcome.
