Make the Abdomen More Toned with Abdominoplasty

Along with a tight butt and toned legs, an athletic figure is characterized by a lean midsection as well.  Many people join the gym and do crunches for obtaining a ‘six-pack’ and similarly, for losing the unwelcome paunch, dieters keep away from sweets and carbs. However, it is very difficult to lose weight from the abdominal area. When no conventional measures work, abdominoplasty, which is also known as tummy tuck, is considered to be an ideal option. In this plastic surgery, loose skin and excess fat are removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The result is a slim silhouette and a sculpted midsection. Ample information should be gathered about abdominoplasty surgery from trusted sources as you need to make an informed decision. Schedule a personal consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon for discussing your goals and needs.

The Abdominoplasty Procedure

This procedure is specially designed for toning and sculpting the abdominal area. During the abdominoplasty surgery, the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened and any excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen for creating a flatter and firmer midsection. Customization of this procedure can be done as per the specific goals and needs of the patients. This procedure can be combined with breast augmentation or liposuction for a complete makeover of the body.

Who is the ideal candidate for this procedure?

Following are the points that should be kept in mind when considering the candidacy for this procedure:

  • Patients in good general health and have no serious medical conditions
  • Those with excess fat and loose skin in the midsection
  • Those having droopy or loose skin around the abdomen

Those undergoing abdominoplasty should have realistic expectations from the surgery. They should strive to maintain the results with regular exercise and a stable diet. It is important that patients refrain from smoking before and after the surgery. Women planning pregnancy should postpone abdominoplasty until after they have had children. The decision to undergo abdominoplasty must be your own; you should not be pressurized by someone else.

Benefit from a Toned Look for the Abdomen

Abdominoplasty surgery brings many aesthetic benefits for women and men who have excess abdominal fat, a protruding belly and saggy skin in the midsection. Through tummy tuck surgery, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed.  In addition to the benefits, an improvement in self esteem and self confidence is noticed in many patients. To benefit from a toned look for the abdomen, abdominoplasty should be provided by an experienced plastic surgeon that is compassionate and works with a team of caring support staff.
