Abdominoplasty is a procedure on the lower abdomen designed to remove excess skin and fat.
This procedure may be considered by individuals who have experienced changes in abdominal skin and muscle tone due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy or ageing. Patients experiencing skin irritation due to excess tissue may also enquire about abdominoplasty.
Understanding the Abdominoplasty Procedure
Abdominoplasty involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of abdominal muscles, if necessary. The surgical approach varies based on individual anatomy and goals.
Key considerations include:
- The extent of skin and muscle adjustment
- Incision placement options
- Postoperative care and healing expectations
Recovery and Aftercare
Following surgery, patients receive aftercare instructions, including guidance on healing, a clear timeline for modified activities and necessary follow-up appointments. The recovery process varies for everyone, and Dr Goldman provides ongoing support throughout the process.
