Abdominoplasty :
Abdominoplasty refers to a cosmetic procedure performed surgically to remove the excess fat and skin from the abdomen, also known as a tummy tuck. Abdominoplasty is known to smooth and flatten the stomach, and also to tighten the muscles. This is a plastic surgery procedure and is recommended if the body has previously undergone significant changes, like a previous surgery, after pregnancy, over weight loss and also natural aging. Abdominoplasty is classified into various types such as circumferential abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck, partial abdominoplasty of mini tummy tuck, complete abdominoplasty or full tummy tuck, and fleur de lis tummy tuck. The advantages of abdominoplasty are tightening of weak muscles, reduction of excess skin in the abdominal area, feeling more confident about the appearance and achieving personal aesthetic goals. The potential complications of abdominoplasty include bleeding, asymmetrical healing, scarring, pain and swelling, poor wound healing, infection, seroma, blood clots, widened apparent scar and numbness or other changes in sensation.
