Tummy tuck
The situation
A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging.
The most common causes of this include:
Pregnancy and caesarean
deliveries
Weight loss and excessive
gastric surgeries
Umbilical hernia
How does it work?
The operation is performed under general anesthesia where the surgeon:
- Removes excess skin and fat from lower abdomen
- Tightens underlying muscles across the whole abdominal area
- Navel is repositioned
- Wounds are closed
Why this procedure?
