Hello Interloper!
Menu
Thousands of abdominoplasties are performed successfully each year. When done by a qualified plastic surgeon who is trained in body re-shaping, the results are generally quite positive.
However, because tummy tucks are major procedures, they carry an increased risk of complications, and longer recovery times than other forms of cosmetic surgery.
It is also very important for you to describe exactly how you envisage the final cosmetic result with an experienced surgeon who also performs liposuction so that they can assess you properly and recommend the most appropriate procedure, or combination of procedures for you.
The longevity of results is difficult to predict, and depend upon maintaining good control over excessive weight fluctuation causing the skin to stretch, following the procedure. Your surgeon will discuss predicted duration of results with you from their own experience and the experience of their colleagues.
