Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck

With Dr. Mark Kohout

What is an Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to address the appearance of the abdomen. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, along with the tightening of the underlying muscles. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing, which can lead to loose or sagging skin. A tummy tuck not only addresses the abdominal contour but can also help restore a firmer, flatter appearance.

Who May Benefit

How is the procedure performed?

Incision

The surgeon makes a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, usually from hip to hip. This allows for the removal of excess skin and fat, addressing the abdomen's contour.

Muscle Tightening

After removing tissue, the surgeon tightens the underlying abdominal muscles by suturing them together, strengthening the abdominal wall and improving its appearance.

Skin Repositioning

Once the muscles are tightened, the skin is pulled down to eliminate sagging. The surgeon repositions the skin and closes the incision with sutures for a flatter, more toned abdomen.

What are the Risks?

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, carries several risks, including infection at the incision site, which may require antibiotics; prominent scarring, despite efforts to minimize visibility; and the potential for blood clots forming in the legs or lungs. Anaesthesia complications, although rare, can occur, as can fluid accumulation beneath the skin (seroma), which may need drainage.
