Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty
Problem:
- Protruding, loose or sagging abdomen
- Excess stomach fat and skin
Solution:
A tummy tuck, sometimes called an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can correct a protruding, loose or sagging abdomen. In general, an abdominoplasty is used by tummy tuck Elk Grove Village, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg and Palatine patients to remove excess fat and skin. In some cases, the tummy tuck procedure can restore weakened or separated muscles of the abdomen (this is called diastasis). As a renowned Elk Grove Village liposuction and abdominoplasty specialist, Dr. Kagan performs abdominal contouring under general anesthesia, and can be performed using a variety of techniques, including liposuction or excision. A horizontal incision in the area between the pubic hairline and the navel is required and will vary in shape and length depending on the degree of correction necessary. For some Arlington Heights tummy tuck patients, a second incision may be necessary around the navel to reshape the upper abdomen as well.
The most common causes of abdominal sagging:
- Heredity
- Multiple pregnancies
- Prior surgery
- Significant fluctuations in weight
- Spine abnormalities that affect posture
Result:
- Reduction of tummy fat
- Smoother, firmer profile that is more proportionate to your body type and weight.
