Tummy Tucks

Tummy Tucks

Tummy tucks, also know as abdominoplasty in the medical profession, are becoming more & more popular due to changing attitudes, lower pricing & the excellent results in which surgeons are able to achieve. Although the procedure is far more common amongst women, especially after pregnancy or heavy weight loss where skin can become stretched, many men will choose to undergo this operation as well. The operation itself can be quite a lengthy procedure, lasting up to two hours under a general anaesthetic. Throughout the course of the operation liposuction may be undertaken to remove any excess fat from the stomach area & the navel may also require repositioning. Although the operation only lasts a couple of hours you will have to remain in hospital for 1 or 2 days for observation reasons. The majority of people who undertake a tummy tuck operations will be able to return to work after approximately 14 days of rest.
