Benefits
Abdominoplasty offers several benefits for patients, primarily enhancing the appearance and contour of the abdominal area. One of the most significant benefits is the removal of excess skin and fat.
Additionally, the procedure tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles, which can improve core strength, posture, and overall abdominal firmness. For many patients, abdominoplasty boosts self-confidence and body image, allowing them to feel more comfortable in their clothing and during physical activities.

Who is a Candidate?
A candidate for abdominoplasty is typically an individual who is in good overall health without significant medical problems and one who has realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
Ideal candidates often have excess skin and fat or weakened abdominal muscles that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone. This condition is common after significant weight loss, past pregnancy, or due to the natural aging process. Candidates should be non-smokers, have stable weight, and be done having children.

What to Expect/Recovery Time
During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision across the lower abdomen, typically just above the pubic area, and removes the excess tissue. The abdominal muscles are then positioned together, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, firmer appearance. The procedure may also involve repositioning the belly button.
Recovery after an abdominoplasty is a gradual process that requires patience and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Immediately following surgery, patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the abdominal area. It's important to rest and avoid strenuous activities during the initial weeks of recovery.
