About Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and may tighten separated or weakened abdominal muscles.
Individuals with excess abdominal skin, loose abdominal muscles or persistent abdominal changes following pregnancy or significant weight loss may be suitable candidates after medical evaluation.
No, a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. It is designed to improve abdominal contours and is generally considered for individuals who are near their desired stable weight.
Initial recovery generally takes a few weeks. Patients may need to limit strenuous activities for several weeks, while swelling and final abdominal contours improve gradually over the following months.
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, scarring, delayed wound healing and changes in sensation. Your surgeon will explain the risks and recovery requirements during consultation.
