Main Information
<p>As many of us know, the abdomen, or stomach area, is one of the most difficult places on the body for both men and women to lose weight. Even if you are in relatively good shape, many people are bothered by a large fat deposit and loose skin in this part of the body. This can be especially so for women whose skin and muscle has been stretched by pregnancy, making it extremely difficult, in some cases, to return to the same shape that they were before giving birth.</p> <p>Weight gain followed by a significant loss in weight can be another reason why the abdomen becomes rounded with loose and sometimes overhanging skin.</p> <p>Depending on the amount of fat, shape of the abdomen, looseness of the skin, and strength of the muscles underneath the skin, a less aggressive procedure known as <a title="Liposuction" href="/Treatments/Liposuction" target="_self">liposuction</a> may be recommended by a surgeon. Liposuction simply sucks the fat out from underneath the skin. However, if the skin is loose, and muscles are weak, a "tummy tuck" or abdominoplasty may help to restore your body shape.</p> <p>This is a surgical operation to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower area of the abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall to reduce the appearance of a saggy or sticking out stomach.</p> <p>According to 2019 statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 140,381 tummy tucks (abdominoplasties) were performed in 2018 in the U.S., marking a decrease of 10.9% on 2018 figures and making them the fourth most popular surgical treatment. </p> <p>No official figures are yet available for the U.K., but tummy tucks are becoming increasingly popular in this country too.</p> <p>If you are considering an abdominoplasty, the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.</p>
