Abdominoplasty

Balance beyond aesthetics

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes fat and skin, also it restores weakened and separated muscles, creating a tonned and firmer abdominal profile.

Even people with a normal body weight and normal proportions can have an excess skin abdomen, loose, sagging and experience weak musculature. The most common causes of this problem could be:

aging;
hereditary factor;
surgeries;
significant weight fluctuations;
pregancy.

What abdominoplasty cannot solve:

Abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight loss or a proper exercise schedule.

Although the results of an abdominoplasty are permanent, they may be diminished over time if there are significant future weight fluctuations.

For this reason, people who want to lose weight, or are planning a pregnancy in the near future, are advised to postpone the abdominoplasty surgery.

Abdominoplasty cannot correct stretch marks, but these will be removed if located in the areas of skin that will be removed.

In general, you may be a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck if:

you are physically healthy, at a stable weight;
have realistic expectations;
you are a non-smoker or decide to quit smoking in the pre- and post-operative period (we encourage stop smoking and a healthy lifestyle);
you are unpleased with the appearance of your abdomen.

During the consultation, you should be prepared to discuss the following issues:

your expectations;
medication, allergies and treatments;
current use of vitamins, supplements, alcohol;
whether or not you are a smoker;
medical history (surgeries, births, interventions).

During the consultation, the doctor will:

ask about the patient’s health status;
take photos;
decide the options that are best for you;
recommend a course of treatment;
discuss all the complications that may occur and present all the risks.

It is very important to understand all the aspects of the tummy tuck procedure. It’s normal to have anxiety, whether it is related to how you’ll look after surgery or a little pre-op stress.
