Tummy Tuck Surgery
A tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, at Plastic Surgery Tijuana, removes excess skin from the abdomen and restores weak or separated abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter stomach.
Tummy tucks are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but can help you achieve your goals when traditional weight loss methods fall short.
With a tummy tuck, Dr. Rafael Camberos, Tijuana’s acclaimed plastic surgeon, can make your midsection more defined and in proportion to the rest of your body.
Whether your stomach is sagging or protruding due to age, pregnancy, weight loss, or prior surgeries, a tummy tuck can help you achieve a flat, toned abdomen.
What is a tummy tuck?
An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical treatment that involves removing unwanted, loose skin utilizing a low-lying incision that can be concealed underneath most bathing suits or undergarments.
During the procedure, the muscles are also tightened—or “plicated”—to restore the often-desired “flatness” that most women yearn for after having kids. This is also complemented with liposuction in the hip or flank areas to restore the feminine curve from the torso to the hip.
It is the blend of using liposuction and abdominoplasty together that will recreate the waistline and restore a youthful abdomen. Dr. Camberos combines lipocontouring and abdominoplasty in all cases to get the best results about the waist and torso.
Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery
No matter the reason for an accumulation of diet- and exercise-resistant fat throughout the abdominal region, abdominoplasty can be advantageous in numerous ways. Chief benefits of abdominoplasty can include:
- Elimination of extra, hanging abdominal skin
- A reduction of excess fatty tissue (which some studies have shown to be a health benefit)
- A flattened, more toned stomach and waistline
- An improved fit for various pants, shirts, swimsuits (one or two-piece), and other types of clothing
Along with these aesthetic enhancements, one of the greatest benefits of a tummy tuck is functional core muscle improvement.
Patients who have their rectus musculature (six-pack muscles) tightened/repaired during the procedure—which is done in almost all cases—often experience better core muscle functionality when performing ab exercises, particular workout routines, and certain daily movements.
