What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening the muscles underneath. It is a transformative option for those who have struggled to get rid of stubborn belly fat through dieting and exercise.

How Does Abdominoplasty Work?

The tummy tuck procedure begins with an Incision made below the pubic hairline, with an additional incision around the navel in some cases. The surgeon then performs the Separation of Skin, where the skin and fat are separated from the underlying muscles. Muscle Repair follows, with weak abdominal muscles being tightened and stitched together. Removal of Fat is then conducted, using liposuction or direct excision to eliminate excess fat. The surgeon proceeds with the Redraping of Skin, tightening it to remove any excess. The Repositioning of the Belly Button is then done to align it with the new contours. Finally, the incisions are Closed using sutures or staples, and Drainage Tubes are placed to remove excess fluid and aid in the healing process.

The recovery time for every individual depends on the procedure’s extent and rate of healing. Most people can go back to light activities after some weeks though it may take several months before the final result is achieved.
