Abdominoplasty is a commonly performed procedure. Typically
patients come to our offices who have been exercising for quite some time, but
who have difficulty tightening their lower abdomen. After childbirth, the lower
abdomen can become significantly loose and distended. Often times, the lower
abdomen will not "tighten-up" despite sit-ups or crunches.
Abdominoplasty
procedures can be helpful to tighten the lower abdomen. During an
abdominoplasty, a muscle plication is performed where the lower abdominal
muscles are brought back into their normal position.
Patients are often
very happy following an abdominoplasty as their lower abdomen is often returned
to their "pre-baby" appearance.
