If you’re wondering how to get rid of loose skin around the stomach area, or how to remove belly fat, then it’s helpful to know that abdominoplasty is the medical term for this type of surgery. This operation is also known as loose skin surgery and stomach tightening.
During an abdominoplasty procedure the loose skin around the lower abdomen is carefully cut away. Once the patient has healed from surgery, their abdominal profile and size is now smaller and more in proportion. This can have a life-changing effect on the patient in terms of their confidence, self-esteem and body image. Many patients who undergo this type of procedure wish they had taken the opportunity to do so sooner, as it can drastically improve the outlook, mood and confidence of patients with excess skin around the midriff area. This can impact positively on the patient’s health in an indirect way, as they feel more empowered to attend the gym or take part in sports and activities.
Belly fat removal is a surgical operation, and should be carried out by fully qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeons, in a high quality, clinical environment. Your surgeon will remove the stubborn fat areas and excess skin that cannot be shifted by diet or exercise. A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, but it can drastically or subtly – according to the patient’s needs – firm up and change the shape of the patient’s figure.
