Abdominoplasty removes excess skin folds and fatty tissue from the abdominal area. After pregancy, it is very difficult for most women to return to the same flatness and tone of the abdominal tissues because everything has been stretched. During abdominoplasty, we correct the sagging tissue problem.
Frequently we combine a tummy tuck procedure with liposuction. Suctioning in the abdominal area provides a nice finish by creating more muscle definition.
We commonly do two types of abdominoplasty: a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck. A full tuck affects the abdominal areas both above and below the belly button, while the mini tuck affects the appearance of the abdomen below the belly button.
