Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty or abdomen lift is a cosmetic surgery that tightens and reshapes the abdominal area to an aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance. A flatter, firmer abdomen can dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body. During the abdomen lift, I will tighten abdominal muscles and remove sagging skin to treat protruding abdomen. The tummy tuck is a standard procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic weight loss or pregnancy changes. Abdomen lift improves stretch marks below the navel (belly button). There are many variations in the design of the incisions and the technique itself. It may be possible to avoid an incision around the navel in some instances. When the amount of loose skin is minimal, and the excess fat deposits are found below the navel, a short horizontal incision is all that is necessary. This procedure is called a partial or “mini” abdominoplasty. Sometimes liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with abdominoplasty to remove abdominal fat. Prof. Moawad will discuss the method he recommends for achieving the best result in your case.
