An expert’s insight into abdominoplasty
There are various reasons why the skin on the abdomen becomes stretched and looser than desired. Childbirth is a common factor, and significant weight loss can cause the skin to sag and hang over the pubic area. Once the skin loses its elasticity, even rigorous dieting and exercise often have little effect, particularly when stretch marks are present. The most effective solution for this issue is a surgical procedure known as a "tummy tuck" (abdominoplasty). Revered consultant plastic surgeon Mr Makarand Tare shares his expert insight into the procedure.
