Tummy Tuck Surgery
also known as abdominoplasty
Quick facts on Tummy Tucks
Getting a tummy tuck is a popular procedure and involves removing excessive skin from the waist area. This is skin that cannot be tightened through diet or exercise.
Child birth, or even large amounts of weight loss can leave the abdomen area with a sagging skin effect, and this is where a tummy tuck can help.
The surgery involves making an incision from hip to hip running along the pubic bone, removing any excess skin and pulling down the muscle wall to form a tighter waist.

Your navel may be repositioned and if done well all scars will be hidden by normal swimwear.
General anesthetic is used for this procedure depending on the grade of abdominoplasty surgery - some can be very light procedures.
Recovery time
Expect two nights in hospital and after care for a month or two.
