Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck
If you've reached your ideal body weight through diet and exercise but you still have an excess of skin and fat in your abdominal area that will not reduce, we'd like to recommend abdominoplasty – or as it's usually known, a "tummy tuck."
There are many ways this extra skin and fat stays around the abdominal area, and no amount of diet or exercise will eliminate it:
* Multiple pregnancy
* Loss of elasticity in the skin
* Sudden, extreme weight loss
Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a common term for the surgical procedure to correct a protruding or loose, sagging abdomen. The procedure involves removing excess skin from the lower abdomen. Abdominal muscles that have weakened or separated, a condition called diastasis, is also corrected at the same time. Dr Chang has a special technique to tighten your abdominal muscles and give you an internal girdle. Traditional tummy tuck fails to address the upper abdomen, hips, flanks, back, pubic area, and axilla, also known as the bra bulge.
Ideally all of our patients go home the same day. After a few weeks, most patients are almost completely healed and resume their normal activities.
