Procedures

Abdomenoplasty or Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to reduce fat and sagging skin around the tummy. It also removes scars from pregnancy too. There are two types of Tummy tuck procedures. The full Tummy involves a complete redo of the tummy where the belly button has to be recreated. The half Tummy tuck or Partial abdomenoplasty is done for the lower abdomen and is a less complex surgery.Abdomenoplasty is advised when you have:

• Excess or sagging abdominal skin
• An abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of the body
• Abdominal muscles that have been separated and weakened
• Excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your abdomen

Extended abdomenoplasty is a complete abdomenoplasty plus a lateral thigh lift. The resulting scar runs from the posterior axillary line (when placing you open hands on your hips, the thumbs lie along the posterior axillary line). The operation does all of the abdominal contouring of a complete abdomenoplasty plus allows further improvement of the flank (waist), as well as smoothing the contour of the upper lateral thigh.
