Surgery of the Abdomen/"Tummy
Tuck"
A flat stomach is important for a
physically fit appearance. However, a
healthy diet and regular abdominal
workouts can sometimes do little to
eliminate accumulations of excess fat and
loose, sagging skin in the abdominal area.
If you are bothered by these appearance
problems, abdominoplasty (also called
tummy tuck) may be a good choice for you.
You
may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty
if you have one or more of the following
conditions:
-
Excess
or loose, sagging abdominal skin
-
An
abdomen that protrudes and is out of
proportion to the rest of the body
-
Abdominal
muscles that have been weakened by
pregnancy or aging
-
Excess
fat that is concentrated beneath the
abdominal skin
How
is abdominoplasty performed?
Generally, a horizontal incision is placed
just within or above the pubic area. The
length of the incision depends largely on
the amount of skin that needs to be
removed.
For women, the incision is kept within
swimsuit lines, when it is possible.
Working through this incision, Dr. Wigoda
may tighten the underlying muscles by
pulling them together and suturing them in
place. Any excess skin from the lower
abdomen is trimmed away.
Typically,
an incision is made around the navel and a
new, more attractive navel is designed.
