ABDOMINOPLASTY
What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure, commonly known as a tummy tuck, that aims to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat. It often involves tightening the abdominal muscles to create a smoother and firmer abdominal contour.

How is the procedure performed?
- During an abdominoplasty procedure, a surgical incision is made along the lower abdomen. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying abdominal muscles may be tightened. The remaining skin is then repositioned and sutured closed, resulting in a flatter and more toned abdominal appearance.

What are the risks and complications?
Abdominoplasty, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications. These can include infection, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, scarring, poor wound healing, changes in skin sensation, and the possibility of unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. It’s important to discuss these risks with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.
