Mini Abdominoplasty New Zealand

Unwanted folds of skin and fat on the tummy (abdomen) may be removed to improve the figure and the appearance of the abdomen. Stretch marks on the lower abdomen may be removed. Abdominoplasty is an operation for treating excess skin and some underlying fat. It is sometimes combined with liposuction when there is excess fatty tissue as well as skin. The skin over the abdomen is lifted up, any hernia or muscle weakness repaired and then skin re-draped, and the excess removed. The tummy button is repositioned. The operation requires a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay in hospital. Complications of abdominoplasty surgery include long scars on the abdomen, a scar around the tummy button (umbilicus), wound healing problems, collections of blood or fluid (seroma), asymmetry, irregular contour of the skin and underlying tissues.
