Abdominoplasty

The fat that accumulates around the abdomen over time, can usually resist diet and exercise.

In cases where there is a lot of laxity and excess skin, abdominoplasty can be administered to the middle and lower parts of the abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Suitable candidates for abdominoplasty are men and women who have loose and excess skin in the abdomen (usually the result of great weight loss or after pregnancy in women), as well as relaxed abdominal muscles.

Η κοιλιοπλαστική είναι μια επέμβαση, κατά την οποία αφαιρείται το περίσσιο λίπος, συσφίγγοντας τους μυς της κοιλιάς και λεπταίνοντας την περιοχή της μέσης. Όσοι εμφανίζουν καλή ελαστικότητα δέρματος και μέτρια ποσότητα περίσσιου κοιλιακού λίπους, μπορεί να έχουν το επιθυμητό αποτέλεσμα και μόνο μεAbdominoplasty is an operation in which excess fat is removed, tightening the abdominal muscles and thinning the waist area. Those with acceptable skin elasticity and a moderate amount of excess abdominal fat may have the desired effect simply with abdominal liposuction. This usually applies to men who maintain skin elasticity more than women do; while the areas of fat under the skin tend to be more durable than in women, resulting in liposuction usually being more effective for them.

People with normal or slightly increased body weight, who demonstrate laxity and fat storage in the lower abdomen, are also considered ideal candidates for abdominoplasty.

Naturally, pregnancy greatly affects the abdomen area. This results in stretch marks and laxity, both in the muscles as well as the skin of the abdomen. Stretch marks are difficult to treat, but their appearance can be reduced by frequent lubrication and skin care during pregnancy. When a woman shows severe laxity after pregnancy, she may undergo abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and tighten the muscles.
