What is tummy tuck surgery?
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery as it is more commonly referred to as, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of a protruding stomach, producing a flatter midsection. Ideal patients for this surgery are those who have excess, sagging skin around their waistline due to pregnancy/ and or weight loss. During tummy tuck surgery, our Kentucky plastic surgery expert performs the following steps: • An incision is made across the lower part of the abdomen, and the skin and fatty tissue are separated up to the rib area • The underlying muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed • Sutures are put into place Our Louisville plastic surgery specialist may also suggest liposuction for the stomach as well if there is an abundance of fat deposits in the area.
