Abdominoplasty : Abdomen surgery

Different techniques are used, depending on the problem. If a small area of excess fat is found in the anterior abdominal wall, with no loose skin, liposuction is performed (see liposuction). If a small excess of skin is the problem a mini tummy tuck is performed, with or without liposuction. Lastly, a full tummy tuck involves a larger scar - which is made as a high-cut (in a natural line inside the pelvic bones). The umbilicus is repositioned after the excess skin has been removed.

Hospital stay : 2 night

Recovery : 10 days

Women may have liposuction performed under the chin, on their hips, thighs, and stomach, and in the under arm and breast area.

As healing progresses, a more proportional look will emerge.
