For many people, genetics, weight gain or pregnancy can alter the muscles and skin of your abdomen, causing them to stretch permanently. When diet and exercise prove to be an insufficient solution, abdominal plastic surgery is an effective and safe method of restoring your muscle and skin to a flatter, smoother and more contoured appearance. You may want to consider abdominal plastic surgery if:
- Exercise and diet have helped you lose weight but you still have a protruding stomach
- Your stomach lacks the toned appearance that you want
- Pregnancy has caused your abdominal muscles and skin to stretch and sag.
- You have loose and excess belly skin due to significant weight loss
- You have a stubborn, protruding belly even though you are otherwise in good physical shape.
At Okanagan Health Centre, we understand that having a firmer and flatter midsection can dramatically improve the way your clothing fits and feels, helping you feel healthier, more confident and comfortable in your own body. That is why our team of trusted plastic surgeons are committed to developing a customized abdominal surgery plan that will fit your lifestyle and needs and help you successfully reach all your aesthetic goals.
Abdominoplasty (Minor)
For patients who only have a small amount of abdominal skin they want removed or who find that their abdominal area is beginning to sag due to aging will find that a minor abdominoplasty is extremely effective in sculpting their body into a more desirable shape. A minor abdominoplasty usually involves a smaller incision and a smaller section of the abdominal wall than a full abdominoplasty. Learn More >
Abdominoplasty (Full)
For patients who require the most correction, the full abdominoplasty is an ideal solution for eliminating any excess flab or skin around your abdomen. Through a careful and extensive procedure, one of our plastic surgeons will remove any loose fat and skin, restoring weakened and separated muscles for a smoother and firmer abdominal appearance.
