Abdominoplasty

The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall.

This type of surgery is usually sought by patients with loose or sagging tissues, that develop after pregnancy or major weight loss.

This new technique, also known as an extended mini abdominoplasty, allows for tightening and shaping through a smaller incision that is not placed around the belly button.

Through this smaller incision, excess skin is removed and the belly button is temporarily detached, floating above the muscles during this process.

An abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction to make a Lipotuck, which performs body contouring around the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
