Problem:

Protruding, loose or sagging abdomen

Excess stomach fat and skin

Solution:

A tummy tuck or “Abdominoplasty” is a surgical procedure that can correct a protruding, loose or sagging abdomen. In general, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin and in some cases can restore weakened or separated muscles of the abdomen (this is called diastasis). Kagan Plastic Surgery performs this abdominal contouring under a general anesthesia, and can be executed using a variety of techniques, including liposuction or excision. A horizontal incision in the area between the pubic hairline and the navel is required and will vary in shape and length depending on the degree of correction necessary. A second incision may be necessary around the navel to reshape the upper abdomen as well.

The most common causes of abdominal sagging:

Heredity

Multiple pregnancies

Prior surgery

Significant fluctuations in weight

Spine abnormalities that affect posture

Result:

Reduction of tummy fat

Smoother, firmer profile that is more proportionate to your body type and weight.
