The purpose of abdominoplasty
is to flatten a protruding abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, while toning the muscle wall. A flabby, sagging, and variably fatty abdomen is often the result of significant and/or rapid weight loss, pregnancies, or simply an incorrect lifestyle, sedentary habits, and the force of gravity. Abdominal relaxation is a common condition where the tissue tends to relax excessively, leading to visible muscle-skin sagging.
A prominent abdomen can certainly be a source of dissatisfaction for both men and women. It may result from excess weight, weak muscles, pregnancy, or loss of skin tone that no longer responds to diet or physical exercise. For those who have lost a considerable amount of weight, the only solution to remove excess skin is plastic surgery. Abdominoplasty
is the plastic surgery procedure for removing excess fat tissue and skin folds in the central and lower part of the abdomen, not so much for weight reduction but to tighten the abdominal wall and improve the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
