Say Goodbye to Mom Jeans for Good!
One of the side effects of child bearing, changes in weight, and aging, is the laxity of your stomach muscles and the redundant skin overhang that leads to a protruding abdomen – that is quite hard to get rid off even with diet and exercise.
A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. But regardless of effort sometimes these methods cannot achieve our cosmetic goals. Even those with normal body weight and proportion can have an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging.
Tummy Tuck surgery or abdominoplasty is a comprehensive plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin in both upper and lower abdomen, essentially removing most if not all of the stretch marks present.
The expected benefit is an abdomen that is tight with much better definition. This is done as an overnight stay procedure, but on occasion, can be done as an outpatient. Most can go back to activities of daily living in a few days and resume normal activities in 2-3 weeks. A compression garment is recommended in the postoperative period.
