Whether you call it a tummy tuck or an abdominoplasty, the
end result is a flatter tummy. The procedure removes the excess skin
of the lower abdomen and tightens the stomach muscles. Most often it
is done for women who have had children and have had their abdominal
muscles and skin stretched secondary to pregnancy. There are also
those who have had a significant weight loss and would benefit from the
procedure. The belly button is not removed, but rather is detached
from the surrounding skin and then sewn in place after the excess skin is
removed.
The mini abdominoplasty is done for the patient who has only minimal
excess skin and abdominal muscle laxity. This patient may also have
excess fat to the abdominal skin but only minimal excess skin. In
this situation, the excess fat is removed with liposuction, and the
abdominal muscles are tightened. For the right individual, this
gives a dramatic improvement with a very short recovery period. |
