An abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure to improve the appearance of your abdomen (stomach) It may include removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles.
Full abdominoplasty is required when a patient has excess fat deposit plus a drop in the underlying muscle and skin layer.
Mini abdominoplasty is required when a patient has good muscle tone. But there is too much skin and the stomach appears wrinkly.
This procedure is commonly preformed in conjunction with stomach and flanks liposuction to remove pockets of fat to help leave you with a slimmer contour
Good Candidates. In general, you may be a good candidate for a abdominoplasty if:
During your recovery, dressings or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and you may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your abdomen as it heals following surgery.
The results can be permanent if you maintain a healthy weight after your operation. During a consultation with New Look Cosmetic Surgery, your suitability as a candidate for cosmetic abdominoplasty surgery will be discussed together with your expectations and objectives, where the incisions are made, the length of surgery time, the recovery time and healing process.
