What is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?

The standard abdominoplasty involves creating a transverse scar on the lower abdomen/pubis. The skin and fat are lifted off from the muscles, the muscles are tightened, and the excess tissues are trimmed. The umbilicus is relocated at a new point on the ‘new tummy’.

This technique addresses the excess tissues in the front of the abdomen but may not treat any excess fat on the flanks. This may be further addressed with liposuction or vaser liposuction at the same time usually.

*Mini abdominoplasty involves removing the excess skin and fat from under the area under the umbilicus without having to relocate the umbilicus.

* Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty utilizes an additional incision, running vertically down the midsection, to better address the lax abdominal tissue. Who will benefit from Abdominoplasty:

1. Women following pregnancy which leads to stretched marks on the skin and weakening and separation of the muscles of the tummy. 2. Men and women after significant weight loss 3. Individuals with large excess skin/fat on the lower abdomen 4. Individuals who wish to achieve a trimmer, flatter looking tummy
