Abdominoplasty

An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery that removes unwanted skin and fat from the abdomen. The result is a slimmer, flatter and nicely contoured midsection that is often difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with diet and exercise alone.

This procedure is particularly popular with men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight and with women who are concerned with excess abdominal skin and tissue after pregnancy. Dr. Loizides commonly combines abdominoplasties with breast lifts or reductions for a complete mommy makeover.

Abdominoplasties are performed under general anesthetic and recovery time varies between patients. Most patients that undergo this procedure can expect to gradually return to their normal activities between three to six weeks following surgery.

When considering an abdominoplasty, a detailed conversation with your plastic surgeon is essential in order to thoroughly understand the procedure, recovery and how you can expect your abdomen to look after surgery.
