Abdominoplasty, sometimes known as a 'tummy tuck', is designed to help improve the shape and tone of the abdominal region.
The aim of an abdominoplasty is to remove sagging skin and excess fat from the middle and lower abdomen and repair any separated muscles.
This procedure can be cosmetic or reconstructive in nature.
Why May an Abdominoplasty Be Required?
The procedure involves the removal of excess sagging fat and skin to improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports the fat and skin.
The surgery can be very effective in reducing the bulge caused by excess skin, fat and loose abdominal muscles. The result is a flatter, firmer and more shapely abdomen.
Alternatives to Abdominoplasty
A safe, non-surgical way of reducing excess skin is Thermage.
Much like using an ultrasound probe over the skin, Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodelling.
A single treatment is often sufficient, and it is particularly well suited to treating skin laxity under the arms, inner thighs, and abdomen.
As well as being non-invasive, it is generally far less expensive than cosmetic surgery.
