Abdominoplasty in London
Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the abdomen. It involves removing excess loose skin, fat, and stretch marks, and tightening the abdominal muscles. This can create a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen.
Why Choose Abdominoplasty?
People choose abdominoplasty for various reasons, including:
- Improve appearance: Abdominoplasty can create a more flattering and toned abdomen, which can boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Improve comfort: Excess skin and fat can cause discomfort and chafing, especially during physical activity. Abdominoplasty can remove this excess tissue, improving comfort and mobility.
- Improve back pain: Abdominoplasty can tighten the abdominal muscles, which can help to improve back pain.
- Reduce stretch marks: Abdominoplasty can remove stretch marks, which can be a source of self-consciousness.
Who is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is suitable for individuals who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome. Ideal candidates also have:
- A stable weight
- Good skin elasticity
- No active medical conditions
- A positive outlook on cosmetic surgery
The Procedure
There are two types of tummy tucks: a partial and a full abdominoplasty.
- Partial abdominoplasty: This procedure focuses on the lower abdomen, from the belly button to the pubic area. It is typically performed on individuals who have excess skin and fat in this area.
- Full abdominoplasty: This procedure addresses the entire abdomen, from the ribs to the pubic area. It is typically performed on individuals who have excess skin and fat throughout the abdomen.
The type of abdominoplasty you choose will depend on your individual needs and goals.
Recovery
Recovery from abdominoplasty typically takes several weeks. Patients can expect to experience some pain, swelling, and bruising. It is important to wear a compression garment for several weeks to help support the abdomen during healing.
Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, abdominoplasty carries potential risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve damage. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure.
