The excess of abdominal skin, a saggy tummy or bulging on the abdomen can be removed by abdominoplasty technique. If you desire removal of excess skin you may want to consider this surgical procedure which will tackle these extra skin and fat concentrated in the abdominal areas.

Tummy tuck surgery is performed when candidates have not been able to get rid of loose skin through exercise or weight loss. The cause of excess skin usually occurs after pregnancy and delivery or after a substantial weight loss.

This operation is carried out by an incision at the edge of the belly button and along the top of the pubic hairline. The underlying muscles are then tightened and the excess skin removed. Your doctor may select general anesthesia, so you'll sleep through the operation.

Some surgeons prefer local anesthetic, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy. This way you'll be awake but relaxed, and your abdominal region will be insensitive to pain. You may feel some tugging or occasional discomfort at times.

Complete abdominoplasty usually takes two to five hours, depending on the extent of work required. Partial abdominoplasty may take an hour or two.

After the surgery you will be required to remain in the surgery from few hours to two to three days depending on the extent of the surgery.
