Abdominoplasty

Also known as a Tummytuck it is a common cosmetic procedure. Many women choose it after pregnancies that have left their skin loose in the tummy area. It is an effective procedure that eliminates the flacid skin and flattens the stomach in a way that diets and exercise have not achieved. It can be carried out combined with liposuction, in cases where there is a lot of fat in the abdomen and thighs. The surgeon makes an incision in the bikini line to remove the excess skin. The results are amazing and often women will feel confident enoughto go to the beach in a bikini.

This procedure is carried out under general anesthetic and takes about 2 or 3 hours. The patient stays two nights in hospital. After the operation a 14 day rest is recommended for the body to fully recover. You must avoid lifting weights for six weeks after the operation.

It is normal for the skin to be inflamed and bruised after surgery but the symptoms disappear in the first two weeks. It takes longer to see the final and best results.
