Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

What Is Abdominoplasty Surgery?

Abdominoplasty surgery, commonly known as a tummy tuck surgery, is a procedure designed to make the stomach firmer by removing extra fat and skin from the lower and middle abdomen.  Patients with loose tissue after pregnancy or who undergo severe weight loss usually opt for a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty surgery.   

Abdominoplasty surgery is usually categorized as partial or total with the latter typically lasting twice as long in the operation theater.  Women who are planning to have children and people who plan to reduce weight through exercise and dieting are generally discouraged from receiving abdominoplasty surgery.  It’s important to remember that tummy tuck surgery can cause prominent and permanent scars.  Laser treatment and ointments can help reduce the scarring, but even with these treatments, the incisions are usually still visible.
