Abdominal Plastic Surgery

Home « Plastic Surgery « Abdominal Plastic Surgery

Abdominal plastic surgery includes procedures to remove and tighten excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue. Many seeking abdominal plastic surgery have lost large amounts of weight and now have loose skin and tissue that abdominal plastic surgery can remove. Others have tried dieting and exercise, but have stubborn areas of fat that abdominal plastic surgery will get rid of. Patients choosing procedure are generally not looking for a “quick fix.” Abdominal plastic surgery is usually the last step in reshaping the body, following months of diet and exercise.

Abdominal plastic surgery usually involves liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), or both. In some cases, abdominal plastic surgery is performed on a small, specific section of the stomach—this is called a “mini-tuck.” Abdominal plastic surgery in these cases consists of small incisions above the pubic bone. This type of abdominal plastic surgery removes fat and tightens skin and muscles below the belly button. More traditional abdominal plastic surgery reduces the size of and tightens the entire stomach area. In the traditional abdominal plastic surgery, the incisions are larger in size, and the site can take longer to heal.

Abdominal plastic surgery carries the same risks as almost any type of surgery, and the best way to avoid abdominal plastic surgery mishaps is to choose a qualified physician who has extensive experience in performing abdominal plastic surgery procedures.
