What is a tummy tuck?

腹部除皱手术, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, 在大多数情况下, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.

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.

Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include:

• 老化
• 遗传
• 怀孕
• 手术前
• Significant fluctuations in weight

What tummy tuck surgery can't do

腹部除皱手术 is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program.

Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. 因为这个原因, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies would be advised to postpone a tummy tuck.

腹部除皱手术 cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised.
