Abdominoplasty and apronectomy are procedures with high patient satisfaction and are, in many cases, the only effective option for people with excess abdominal skin.
Chosen most often by women who dislike the effect childbearing has had on their appearance, tummy tuck surgery can correct stretched abdominal skin and tighten the underlying muscles, greatly reducing the appearance of a protruding abdomen. In addition, this procedure can reduce stretch marks and correct the scars of Caesarean operations.
The tummy tuck procedure is also performed to correct excess skin after substantial weight loss.
- Better results achieved when the patient is relatively close to their ideal weight, but this is not always feasible.
- Combining the abdominoplasty with liposuction to the waistline can enhance its effectiveness for some patients.
- In instances where substantial skin excess is present around the waistline, the best results would be obtained by a body lift.
