What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a «tummy tuck,» is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tighten the underlying muscles to create a flatter, smoother abdomen.
What is the recovery time for abdominoplasty?
The recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can return to work or school within 1-2 weeks and resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks. It is important to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for several weeks after the procedure.
Can abdominoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, abdominoplasty can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction to achieve a more comprehensive improvement of the abdomen and surrounding areas.
Will my abdomen look completely flat after abdominoplasty?
While the goal of abdominoplasty is to create a flatter and smoother abdomen, it is important to understand that there may still be some residual fat deposits or loose skin that cannot be completely removed through the procedure.
How is abdominoplasty performed?
The procedure involves making an incision across the lower abdomen, removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying muscles as needed. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and sutured closed.
