Abdominoplasty
The abdominoplasty (also known as a "tummy tuck") is a procedure to tighten loose or sagging abdominal wall skin frequently associated with relaxation of the abdominal wall muscles. This may be due to pregnancies or prior surgery and is intended to give the patient a smoother, flatter abdomen.
The standard abdominoplasty tightens the abdominal skin and muscles and is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The mini-abdominoplasty tightens the lower abdominal skin only and is performed on an outpatient basis. Although recovery from an abdominoplasty |
can be one of the more uncomfortable plastic surgery procedures, you will be encouraged to be moving and walking within 1-2 days. Light activity is tolerated in 10-20 days but more strenuous activities will not be comfortable for about 6 weeks.
