Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to flatten the stomach and remove the excess skin and fat. Your doctor performs a surgical cut in the tummy area to tighten separated ab muscles to recall the appearance of a well proportionate body. The need for this surgery most commonly occurs after childbirth or a massive weight loss in women and after weight loss in men. Aging also might cause loose skin around the stomach for men and women who do not play sports regularly. Therefore, a Tummy Tuck is not a replacement for exercise or a healthy diet and cannot be a weight loss solution but, instead, it can be a way to enhance the body’s appearance and contouring after a massive weight loss.
Tummy Tuck Procedure
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and your Top Clinic doctor will remove a section of skin and fat from the belly button or higher -down to the pubic regions-. Up to 30-50% of the stomach skin is usually removed, including the existed stretch marks. Your surgeon will pull down the remaining skin to cover the entire belly, which makes the stomach much flatter and tighter. Then he will reposition the belly button if it is needed to give a more natural and well-proportioned look.
