Women are most commonly associated with cosmetic enhancement treatments and procedures, but that’s only because women tend to speak of these things more freely.  In today’s world, men are seeking ways to look healthier … younger … more attractive … just the way women have been doing for decades.  Abdominoplasty is one such example, providing fast, effective results for men and women alike who suffer from stubborn excess belly fat or loose, sagging abdominal skin.

What is Abdominoplasty, Exactly?

You most likely know the procedure as a tummy tuck.  Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure typically involving liposuction and tightening techniques used to improve muscle tone as well as skin’s appearance of smoothness.  Abdominoplasty is typically a very simple procedure, though every type of surgery carries an inherent set of risks to the patient.  All of these factors vary from one person to the next, and a professional evaluation of your individual circumstances and overall state of physical health will tell you whether or not you are a good candidate for abdominoplasty.

Abddominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure, though it is often recommended as a follow up for those losing a lot of weight in a short amount of time.  Neither is it recommended for “maintenance” of the abdominal area, as the procedure does result in scars ranging from small to large – depending on the patient.
