ny woman who has had children knows her body is never the same again.
Pregnancy stretches the abdominal skin and muscles, creates "stretch marks,"
and frequently leaves an unsightly "tummy pooch" after delivery. No amount of
exercising or sit-ups seem to help. This wrinkled lower tummy skin and fat create
that full, protruding look.
This problem is correctible. By excising the excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and trimming excess hip skin, a much flatter tummy can be created.
The operation, called abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck," takes 2-3 hours, and patients are usually back to normal within two weeks. There is very little bruising, and scars can be easily hidden within panty or swimsuit lines. This is an outpatient procedure.

Women and men who have loose abdominal skin and fat that is concentrated in the abdomen can benefit from abdominoplasty. |
Abdominoplasty enhances the body contour by making the abdomen firmer and flatter. Incision lines will be permanently visible, but will fade over time. They can usually be placed in locations concealed by bathing suits and undergarments. |
