Women and men who have loose abdominal skin and fat that is concentrated in the abdomen can benefit from abdominoplasty. Sometimes these conditions are inherited. In other instances, substantial weight loss may cause abdominal skin to become flaccid.
Abdominoplasty also can tighten muscles that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy. The procedure may somewhat improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located below the navel.
Dr. Stewart will examine your abdominal area and take photographs for your medical record. He will consider such factors as your skin tone and the degree of loose skin in the abdominal region. He will also evaluate the amount of excess fat in your abdomen and the condition of your abdominal muscles.
If you think that you may want to become pregnant in the future, you should mention this to Dr. Stewart. Pregnancy can alter your abdominal area in an unpredictable way and could affect the long-term results of your procedure.
