Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery which is also known as 'Tummy Tuck.' This surgery aims to make the abdomen thinner and firmer. Pregnancy or a major weight loss can cause sagging tissues, and having a Tummy Tuck remove the issue. Abdominoplasty reduces sagging abdomens by removing excess fat and skin or tightening the muscles in the area. It is important to keep in mind that Tummy Tuck should not be considered as an alternative to weight loss. Abdominoplasty and Liposuction can be done together to improve the apearance of the abdomen.
If you are suffering from sagging skin in your abdomen but do not want to have surgery, there is an alternative. This alternative is called 'Thermalipo' which has a more comfortable recovery and shorter treatment time. This method uses Liposuction and Thermage Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (a non-invasive treatment for aging and loose skin). After the Liposuction, the Thermage device is used to tighten the skin by using radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen growth. Beside the abdomen, the Thermalipo can be used for other areas as well.
