An abdominoplasty is a type of surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin as well as stubborn fat from the abdominal area and also potentially restore weakened or separated muscles. Abdominoplasty procedures can be particularly beneficial among individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or those individuals who have had multiple pregnancies, resulting in loose or sagging skin that is not able to be corrected through dietary and exercise changes alone. The goal of an abdominoplasty is to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile, enhancing both the physical appearance and self-confidence of the patient. Different treatment approaches will dictate results, whether it's a full abdominoplasty, which involves the entire abdominal area, or a mini-abdominoplasty, focusing on the lower abdomen. Patients considering an abdominoplasty should have a clear understanding of the procedure and approach abdominoplasty with realistic expectations regarding the results. While abdominoplasty’s can dramatically improve the appearance of the abdomen, it is not a substitute for weight loss or a comprehensive exercise program.
