During a tummy tuck, excess fat around the abdomen is removed. This procedure is also known as tummy tuck.
Someone can have a tummy tuck, also called a tummy tuck, if there is excess fat in the abdomen that does not decrease despite abdominal exercises, or if the skin on the abdomen is loose or sagging, or if the abdominal muscles have slackened due to pregnancy.
During abdominoplasty surgery, a long, horizontal incision is made from hip to hip just above the pubic area, and a second incision is made around the navel to expose it. The abdominal skin is pulled up from the abdominal wall to the navel or all the way to the ribs. This removes the excess fat.
Stretched or weakened abdominal muscles are tightened and secured with sutures. Then excess skin is removed. Finally, the remaining abdominal skin is covered over the belly pulled back and the incision is closed with stitches. With total abdominoplasty, a new opening is made in front of the navel.
This operation can bring several complications, which should be discussed with the doctor before the operation.
