The abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a procedure to correct sagging skin, muscle and the excess of fat especially after pregnancies or weight loss.
The skin quality, the amount of fat tissue and the abdominal muscle tonicity will guide the surgeon for the kind of abdominoplasty he will choose.
In case of excess of the amount fat (lonely) the indication will be liposuction only.
In the other cases (excess of fat, skin and muscle laxity) the indication will be abdominoplasty with or without liposuction.
Abdominal wall muscles (widening), impaired abdominal skin (stretched skin, scars) will be treated correctly with this procedure and the remaining skin will be tightened.
Localized fat excess can be removed during the same procedure by liposuction.
The standard abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) removes a large amount of redundant tissue (skin and fat) from the middle and lower abdominal wall, between the umbilicus and the pubic region, according to preoperative planning.
The umbilicus is preserved and put in its normal position through a hole cut and contoured in the newly draped skin.
This procedure leaves a scar. It usually extends from above the pubic hair to the groin region. Its length is determined in preoperative planning and the patient shall be fully aware of it.
