Tummy tuck plastic surgery for a smoother, flatter tummy.
Abdominoplasty is a good choice for women and men who seek a firm and smooth abdomen. Sometimes a healthy diet and regular workouts do little to eliminate accumulations of excess fat and loose, sagging skin in the abdominal area.
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
Length of Tummy Tuck Plastic Surgery
Abdominoplasty surgery lasts 2 to 4 hours.
Anesthesia Requirements for Abdominoplasty Plastic Surgery
Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia will be used during your tummy tuck.
