What is Abdominoplasty?
An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape and tighten the abdominal area. It is typically performed to address loose or sagging abdominal skin, excess fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles. During a tummy tuck, Dr. Chahin removes excess skin and fat, and tightens the abdominal muscles to create a smoother and more toned appearance.
The procedure begins with an incision made along the lower abdomen, typically within the bikini line, allowing Dr. Chahin access to the underlying tissues. The extent and length of the incision may vary depending on the amount of excess skin and fat to be addressed. Dr. Chahin then removes the excess skin and fat, and tightens the abdominal muscles if necessary. The remaining skin is then repositioned and sutured back into place, creating a flatter and firmer abdominal contour. In some cases, liposuction may be performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck to further sculpt the abdominal area.
What is the process?
The tummy tuck process, known as abdominoplasty, involves several key steps to enhance the appearance of the abdomen. The patient begins with a consultation with Dr. Chahin to discuss their aesthetic goals and concerns. During the surgery, Dr. Chahin makes strategic incisions along the bikini line to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen. If necessary, they also tighten and repair the abdominal muscles to create a firmer and more toned contour. After redraping the remaining skin, the incisions are closed. Following the procedure, the patient’s abdomen will heal, revealing a smoother and flatter appearance. With the expertise of Dr. Chahin and proper aftercare, patients can achieve satisfying and aesthetically pleasing results.
Benefits of Abdominoplasty
Improved Abdominal Contour
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, resulting in a flatter, firmer, and more toned appearance. It can help eliminate the appearance of a protruding or sagging belly.
Tightened Abdominal Muscles
Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging can cause the abdominal muscles to become weak or separated. A tummy tuck can repair and tighten these muscles, creating a firmer and more defined midsection.
Removal of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks that are located on the lower abdomen can often be eliminated or significantly improved during a tummy tuck procedure. The excision of excess skin can remove stretch marks in that area.
Enhanced Body Proportion
By improving the contour of the abdomen, a tummy tuck can restore balance and proportion to the overall body shape. It can create a more harmonious appearance, especially when combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction.
Improved Confidence and Body Image
Many individuals who undergo a tummy tuck experience a boost in self-confidence and body image. The improved abdominal contour and more youthful appearance can help individuals feel more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance.

FAQS
How long does the Abdominoplasty procedure take?
The duration of a tummy tuck procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the surgery and any additional treatments involved. On average, the surgery can take anywhere from three to five hours.
Will I have visible scars after an Abdominoplasty?
