Patient Expectations
Your midsection will look flatter and more toned. Swelling may hide your final result for the first weeks or months, but your abdomen will look dramatically better even while swollen.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made low on the abdomen, and its length depends on whether you want improvement at the front, around the hips, or around the back for a buttock lift.
The muscle separation is repaired and tightened to bring the waistline in. After excess skin and fat are removed, layered internal sutures close the tissues, removing the need for drain tubes.
Who It's For
- Have loose skin or stubborn fat around the abdomen
- Have muscle separation after pregnancy
- Have experienced major weight fluctuations
- Are at a stable weight and don't smoke
