Tummy tuck

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tucks or abdominoplasty remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen. The abdominal muscles are also tightened. The procedure flattens your abdomen and improves your appearance and self-esteem. It can also remove stretch marks to a certain extent.

Types

If your surgeon determines that a tummy tuck is the best option for you, they may suggest any of the following:

• Full Abdominoplasty or Traditional tummy tuck
• Mini Abdominoplasty
• High or Extended Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
• Circumferential Tummy Tuck ( Belt Lipectomy)

Reasons to Consider Tummy Tuck

It would be best if you considered abdominoplasty for the following reasons:

• Exercise and diet will not eliminate excess skin or flab in your abdomen.
• You lost weight through exercise and diet, but your tummy still protrudes.
• Your abdomen has stretch marks.
• There is an excess of weight in the middle section of your body.
• You have weak abdominal muscles due to massive weight loss, pregnancy, aging, and previous surgery.
• Your tummy shape is affected by excess skin on your tummy.
• You feel unattractive and lack confidence due to your protruding abdomen.
• You want to restore your youthful and flat tummy.
• You want to look better in swimming suits and fitting clothes.
