Abdominoplasty is an operation to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen. The surgeon may also tighten the tummy muscles. The aim is to produce a tighter, flatter stomach and it may partially reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Some of the reasons why someone may choose to have a tummy tuck include having excess skin, stretch marks or loose abdominal muscles which may happen after pregnancy, losing a lot of weight, etc.

During a tummy tuck, the surgeon removes excess fat and sagged skin from the lower tummy and if necessary, tightens loosen and divided muscles of the abdomen. In cases when the excess fat is much more, liposuction may be carried out in the same operation. The direction and size of the incisions depend on the quantity of the excess skin.

The time duration of the operation is 120 min. Removing stitches is after 8-12 days. After the operation the patient might feel pressure in the abdomen. The postoperative discomfort lasts 2-3 days. Swelling subsides in about 3-4 weeks and does not interfere with patient’s normal social life.

The operation is carried out under a general anaesthetic. It is necessary to spend 48 hours in the hospital so that your recovery process can be monitored by a medical staff.
