Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin to achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen. This procedure can help improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars on the abdominal area. Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty are healthy people who have excess skin and stretch marks in the abdominal area, as well as muscle distension. The abdominoplasty process involves a horizontal incision in the lower abdominal area, through which the surgeon can access the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin. Although abdominoplasty is considered a safe procedure, there are risks associated with any surgical procedure, including complications from anaesthesia and infections. It is important to discuss all the risks and benefits of this procedure with your surgeon before making a decision and to follow the post-operative instructions for optimal healing.
