Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is an operation designed to remove the unnecessary and unwanted skin and fat from the abdomen. The result after this kind of surgery is a flatter, smoother, and well-toned belly. It is ideal for the excess that you can’t still get rid of after regular and serious exercise training. The excess of adipo-cutaneous tissue in the belly is usually due to fluctuation in weight, after pregnancy or even aging.
A tummy tuck will give you a flatter and a firmer abdomen. Your surgeon will make sure to have it as proportionate as possible to your body type and shape. It is important to maintain a healthy and steady diet after the surgery and not inflict your body to fluctuating weight gain and loss.
If you have gone through several pregnancies, have lost a considerable amount of weight or have extra skin and fat on the abdominal area, then you are a candidate for an abdominoplasty. This type of surgery is ideal for a normal weight person that is not planning to lose or gain weight in the near future.
