Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Multiple pregnancies, a great weight loss or just time and gravity can take its toll on the abdomen. Even those who have exercised and dieted and lost the weight they desire, may still have loose skin and excess fat that they just can't get rid of. In addition you may have functional problems related to fitting clothing, exercising, low back pain, and intertrigo (rashes beneath folds of excess skin).

A tummy tuck is a procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of the abdomen. During a tummy tuck procedure, excess skin and fat is removed from the abdomen and the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened. This leaves the abdomen looking flatter and tighter. A tummy tuck can enhance not only one's appearance, but also your self confidence.

Importantly, abdominoplasty should not be seen as a weight loss procedure but as a body contouring procedure. Extensive research suggests that the risks of the surgery are far greater in patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 35.

At Brisbane Cosmetic Clinic, we offer a medically managed weight reduction program which enables these patients to effectively reach their weight goals prior to their desired surgery.
