Sagging, excessive skin and accumulated fatly tissue appearing after giving birth or stemming from extreme weight loss are often causes for concern Sagging ripples that cause problems concerning clothing and cleansing can be.particularly troublesome. In such cases, where excess fat deposits cannot be removed with liposuction (i.e. there is excess skin a well) alone, abdominoplasty is the procedure of choice. During this procedure, both excess skin and fat are removed. It is also possible to strengthen weakened abdominal muscles (abdominoplasty combined with liposuction.)
Following surgery a small tube will be left in for 1 - 4 days to drain excess fluids. Ideally only a small, thin, soft, white scar will remain.
It will take 6-12 months for the final shape to evolve. In case of problematic healing scar correction surgery may be necessary.
