Abdominoplasty in Melbourne is available at Define Dermatology & Aesthetics with Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Mr Ian Loh. Mr Loh provides thorough, personalised consultations to discuss whether abdominoplasty is appropriate for your individual circumstances, goals, and anatomy.
Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and may tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. It may be considered by patients following significant weight loss, pregnancy, or where diet and exercise have not achieved the desired outcome.
Like all surgical procedures, abdominoplasty carries risks. Mr Loh will explain these in full during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
Suitability for abdominoplasty is assessed on an individual basis. During your consultation Mr Loh will review your medical history, current health, and personal goals to determine whether surgery is appropriate for you.
Patients considering abdominoplasty are generally advised to be at or near a stable weight before proceeding. Surgery is not suitable for everyone and Mr Loh will provide honest, individualised advice based on your circumstances.
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. The extent of the procedure varies depending on the amount of excess skin and whether muscle tightening is required. Mr Loh will explain the recommended surgical approach and what it involves during your consultation.
Recovery from abdominoplasty varies between individuals and typically requires several weeks before returning to normal activities. Mr Loh and his team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and support throughout your recovery. Specific recovery timelines and restrictions will be discussed during your consultation.
