Abdominoplasty surgery provides tightness and firmness of abdominal wall muscles by removal of fat tissue and excess skin in the middle and lower parts of abdomen. Abdominal skin sagging usually occurs as a result of pregnancy, excessive weight changes and the increased age.

Sometimes there is a fair amount of loosening and sagging in the abdominal area of people who have normal weight and body measurements. The most important reasons might be genetic features, multiple pregnancies, previously undergone interventions and weight changes. Abdominoplasty surgery which involves removal of cutaneous and subcutaneous fat tissue and tightening of muscles aims to correct abdominal sagging.

Special bands are adhered to the area and closed. No dressing is made. Silicones called drains are placed in order to prevent fluid collection under the skin. After the operation is terminated, recovery process is accelerated with special corsets.
