Body Contouring
- Liposuction
- Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen. Following pregnancy and after weight loss, the skin of the abdominal wall can become loose and stretched, leaving permanent marks. Also, fat collects in the tissues below the skin and the abdominal wall muscles become relaxed causing the lower abdomen to become more prominent. Unfortunately, this combination of loose skin, excessive fat and relaxed muscles is usually not responsive to dieting and exercise. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, may tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall and also improves existing scars. Liposuction may work well in young individuals with good skin tone, a firm abdominal wall and excessive fat below the skin. Unlike liposuction, which leaves very small scars to remove fatty tissue only, abdominoplasty leaves a lengthy incision in the pubic area. Fortunately, most contemporary underwear and bathing suits hide the scar.
