While sagging and cracks occur in the abdominal skin after excessive weight gain or loss or pregnancy, relaxation occurs in the abdominal muscle tissue at the same time.Although it is said that the skin will heal by doing sports, this is not true.Unfortunately, this situation can only be resolved with surgery.In tummy tuck surgery, excess tissue hanging from the skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are shaped and narrowed from the inside.If necessary, it is combined with liposuction for excess fat, and shaping is done by thinning the back and side areas.
Who can have abdominoplasty surgery?
Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss surgery, so people who have lost excess weight can be ready for this surgery after they reach their ideal weight.At least one year must have passed since giving birth.
