Abdominoplasty – tummy tuck

Abdominoplasty – tummy tuck

The ideal belly in the modern sense is flat, without excess fat, elastic, with a navel located strictly on the waistline. This is how it happens to most people in their youth, and athletes and supporters of an active lifestyle keep it that way for many years. But with age, due to a sharp weight gain or loss, hormonal changes, after pregnancy and childbirth, the shape of the abdomen loses its beautiful shape. Alas, it is very difficult to restore the previous forms on your own, and in some cases (especially after birth changes), it is practically unrealistic. The ideal solution to the problem in this case is abdominoplasty of the abdomen – an effective way to restore the attractiveness of the body.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a complex of surgical techniques aimed at improving the shape, reducing the volume and strengthening the anterior surface of the abdominal wall, as well as transferring the stretched navel to its natural position. Abdominoplasty is often performed in combination with liposuction. In case of a large excess of skin, abdominoplasty can become an obligatory part of bodylifting.

With a pronounced stretching of the tissues of the anterior abdominal wall, which often appears as a result of pregnancy, tummy tuck includes, in addition to excision of excess skin, plastic surgery of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. Thanks to abdominoplasty of the abdomen, you can not only restore a toned look to your stomach, but also create a thin waist, providing the figure with truly graceful contours.

Mini tummy tuck

Mini- abdominoplasty is performed when there is no need to excise a large excess of skin and there is no divergence of the muscles of the abdominal wall. Such tummy tuck allows you to remove excessively stretched skin below the navel with minimal trauma and achieve an excellent aesthetic result.
Endoscopic miniabdominoplasty is performed if there is no need to excise the skin, but there is a divergence of the rectus muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. A similar abdominoplasty of the abdomen is performed as follows – a small incision is made in the lower abdomen – about 5 centimeters long (the scar will soon become completely invisible), the muscles are sutured by the endoscopic method.

Navel plastic surgery

This operation is required in case of an aesthetically ugly navel or in case of “loss” of the navel (for example, after a strip operation). In addition, navel plasty is often performed during abdominoplasty – due to excessive stretching of the skin, the navel falls down, so you have to return it to the right place or form a new one.
