Abdominoplasty
is an aesthetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin
and fat from the lower abdomen and to tighten the abdominal muscles.
Usually performed under general anaesthetic, an abdominoplasty involves
the removal of skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightening
of the abdominal muscles.
Although
results vary from patient to patient, in general the overall body
appearance is improved by reducing and recontouring abdominal skin
and fat. The best results are obtained in patients of near normal
weight with some laxity of the abdominal skin or a slight excess
of fat or bulging of the abdominal muscles. The result is usually
permanent although of course excessive weight changes or future
pregnancies may undo some of of the benefits of the surgery. Your
surgeon is the best person to determine whether your expectations
are surgically possible.
Please
note: Abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight reduction nor
a cure for obesity.
Your
surgeon at the Aesthetic Day Surgery will discuss the results that
you can personally expect at your initial consultation.
