After dramatic weight loss, many men and women often have excess amounts of skin around the abdomen. Women can also experience this condition as a result of pregnancy, which often leaves the abdomen soft and flabby. An abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck,” can remove excess folds of skin and tighten your abdominal muscles to create a lean, flat, and well defined stomach. Because diet and exercise cannot remove all excess skin, liposuction of the abdomen is the perfect solution to tone and refine your tummy. Check out the tummy tuck video below for more information or visit your local Sleek Surgical Med Spa for a free consultation and to learn more about the tummy tuck procedure and tummy tuck recovery time.
Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery - performed when the fat or excess skin is below the navel and leaves a smaller scar than other tummy tuck procedures.
Partial and Complete Tummy Tuck Surgery - performed when the excess skin or fat reaches above the navel.
If you plan to become pregnant or lose weight in the future, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Scarring from previous abdominal surgery may limit the results of your Abdominoplasty.
In the full abdominoplasty, the skin is raised up to the level of the breast bone, which allows the surgeons to place a suture in the abdominal muscles to tighten them. After the skin from the umbilicus to the pubic hair line is removed and discarded, the skin is brought down tightly and closed. A new, youthful umbilical opening is further created.
