Tummy-Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

It is normal for the skin of your tummy (abdomen) to sag downwards with the passage of time. Your lower abdomen may also bulge outwards as the muscles lose their strength and tone. These changes can be accelerated by pregnancy and massive weight loss. Sadly, once these changes have occurred, many people are unable to restore the shape of their abdomen to its youthful shape even with rigorous attention to their diet and regular exercise. This may lead to considerable unhappiness about appearance both in and out of clothing. If you are bothered by the shape of your abdomen, then you may benefit from an abdominoplasty procedure to reverse some of these changes by removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. It is also possible to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall in the same procedure. The surgery leaves a long scar in the lower abdomen, but most clients are happy to accept this in exchange for the vast improvement in their body shape. It is important to note that this surgery is not intended to help you lose weight - this can only be done through careful attention to your diet. Surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic and you must expect to stay in hospital for about two days after surgery.
