A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Dr Anna De Leo carried out in our London clinic specialises in “Tummy Tucks”, removing excess fat and skin, and in most cases restoring weakened or separated muscles, creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
Weight loss, ageing or multiple pregnancies can all contribute to a weekend stomach and a tummy tuck can help you improve this, changing the shape of your abdomen. The process can involve the removal of excess skin, unwanted scars, stretch marks and fat from the stomach area, to then tightening the stomach muscles giving a flatter, more attractive appearance.
On some occasions, 2 incisions may be needed, one along the lower portion of the abdomen, extending laterally to the hip bone and another small circle incision around the navel, to make sure the navel is then placed in a natural position. Those who undergo Tummy Tucks are required to rest for 7-14 days.
