Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent abdominal tissue laxity or muscle separation. It involves the removal of excess skin and, in some cases, subcutaneous fat, along with the repositioning or tightening of abdominal muscles.
This procedure is often discussed in cases where changes to abdominal contour have not responded to lifestyle measures such as diet or physical activity. Situations such as significant weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing may contribute to these changes. Individuals considering abdominoplasty are generally advised to be in stable health and at a stable weight. Those planning future pregnancies or significant weight changes are typically advised to defer the procedure, as these factors may influence the surgical outcome over time.
At West Coast Plastic Surgery in Perth, a comprehensive assessment is conducted for every patient, taking into account their medical history, physical examination, and treatment goals. This process supports informed decision-making and helps determine whether abdominoplasty is a clinically appropriate option.
