Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty or tummy-tuck surgery is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, eliminating accumulations of excess fat and loose,sagging skin. Abdominoplasty surgery falls into the category of "excisional" body contouring whereby excess skin and fat are actually removed and excised. Unlike liposuction which only removes excess fat and relies on skin elasticity to reshape the skin,abdominoplasty surgery surgically removes excess skin and fat while also tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. This can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen,giving you a flatter, firmer, tighter stomach and a thinner,shapelier waistline. If you have loose abdominal skin, stretch-marked skin after pregnancy, weakened abdominal muscles and/or excess abdominal fat that won't respond to diet or exercise, tummy-tuck may be right for you.

If volume loss is also an issue, implants may be inserted during breast lift surgery to increase breast size.

The ultimate results are youthful, perky breasts with restoration of their shape and firmness.
