Many of us want to give the impression of elegance, grace, firmness and youth. The shape of our body contributes to the impression we give. As facial cosmetic surgery strives to achieve balance and harmony among the facial features, the same sculpting principles of harmony of shape and symmetry apply to the body. Any excess in one direction or another disturbs the general equilibrium of the shape of the body. A Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty, in conjunction with a Body Liposculpture procedure can go a long way to erase these imbalances in the mid body area.

Abdominoplasty in conjunction with Liposculpture, is a rewarding surgical procedure to remove excess skin and excess fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen that may appear excessive, disturbing the general equilibrium of the body. An Abdominoplasty procedure does produce a scar which, depending on the extent of the correction and the technique required, can extend from hip to hip

The best candidates for Abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape, but are concerned by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that will not respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where the skin fails to return to normal. In some cases, the loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.

Abdominoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. The procedure, whether mini or full, produce excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin. In most cases, the results are long lasting if a balanced diet is followed and exercise undertaken regularly. To actively seek to improve the shape of the body is also a way of becoming more aware, so as to treat it better in the future. It is not unusual for men and women to put themselves on a weight loss regime following Abdominoplasty or that they resume working out or practicing a sport in order to further improve their new shape. If you are realistic in your expectations, you have every chance of being satisfied with the results from this highly rewarding procedure.
