Tummy Tuck to Tighten and Shape Abdomen
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
Clinical expertise for long-lasting results
An abdominoplasty procedure takes approximately 2-5 hours to perform, depending on the individualized treatment plan. Generally, tummy tuck procedures can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months.
With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it.
