TUMMY TUCK



TUMMY TUCK

Abdominoplasty, more popularly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery done to remove excessive skin and fat from the abdomen of an individual and repair the tightening of the muscles. Normally, people who go through massive weight loss, pregnancy, or aging go for this procedure. This process requires a horizontal incision running across the lower abdomen, usually from hip to hip. Excess skin and fat are then removed by surgeons, who may also repair separated abdominal muscles. It is going to flatten and tone the abdominal area. Recovery will include several weeks of restricted activity, coupled with a compression garment to help support healing. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, and scarring. One must have realistic expectations as far as the surgery is concerned and go through the goals and risks with a qualified surgeon. The tummy tuck is not a weight loss method but rather enhances a healthy lifestyle.
