About Ottawa Tummy Tucks
Many women and men will develop changes in their abdominal contour after weight fluctuation or natural aging processes/inheritance factors, and women specifically may develop changes after pregnancy. These changes can result in excess loose skin and fatty tissue, or protrusion of the lower abdomen due to laxity in the stomach muscles. A tummy tuck can help address these concerns by removing the excess fat and skin.
If the elasticity of the abdominal skin has been exceeded by stretching from pregnancy or weight fluctuation, then stretch marks will develop, resulting in a loss of tone that requires removal of skin. Similarly, excess fatty tissue tends to accumulate throughout the abdomen and hips, and certain fatty deposits may prove very difficult to address with diet and exercise alone.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can firm and smooth your abdomen. The procedure removes excess skin and fat from below the belly button, to the bikini line, and may also tighten the muscles of the abdomen. Liposuction of the upper abdomen, hips and flanks is often added to the procedure as well, to improve overall results.
Each abdominoplasty procedure is unique and this procedure has a very high rate of patient satisfaction. The operation is ideally suited for patients who are close to their ideal body weight, but have unique changes to their body that are not successfully managed through diet or exercise alone.
