Understanding
The Abdominoplasty is the plastic surgery intervention performed to address excess skin on the abdomen. The procedure is performed on patients with skin sagginess at the level of the inferior abdominal area. If you are dealing with skin and tissue that covers partly or entirely the suprapubic area, Abdominoplasty might be an option available to you.
The procedure is also known as Abdominoplasty in medical terms and can completely alter the aspect of your abdomen and midline when performed in combination with liposuction. Depending on the needs of the patients, there are different types of Abdominoplasties that can be performed, from a Mini Abdominoplasty to a Fleur De Lys Abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty Surgery
Abdominoplasty is a complex plastic surgery intervention that aims to recontour the abdominal area. The procedure is performed to tighten weak abdominal muscles and eliminate excess skin.
Step 1
The Abdominoplasty is often performed with the patient under general anaesthesia, as the procedure can take one to three hours, depending on the complexity of each case.
Step 2
The number and length of incisions are dependent on the type of Abdominoplasty to be performed. For example, in the case of the Mini Abdominoplasty, there is just one small incision placed on the inferior part of the abdomen, over the suprapubic area. A Full Abdominoplasty often entails a larger incision on the lower abdominal area and another one used to reposition the navel. The extended Abdominoplasty requires incisions on the flanks, that allow Dr Hunt to eliminate excess skin from the sides.
Step 2
After the incisions are performed, Dr Hunt will detach the skin tissue and bring together and tighten the abdominal muscles for a firmer-looking tummy (not performed in case of the Mini Abdominoplasty).
Step 2
The skin is then redraped over the underlying tissues, and the excess skin is eliminated. The incisions are sutured, and compressive bandages are used.
