Cosmetics Clinic at Vale Healthcare: Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty

An abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck) is a procedure performed to make the abdomen more firm. Vale Healthcare is pleased to make this procedure available at Vale Hospital located in Hensol, near Cardiff, South Wales.

The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall.

Surgery is usually sought by patients with loose tissues after pregnancy / individuals with sagging after major weight loss.

Abdominoplasty: Combination Procedures

Abdominoplasty can be performed both as a stand-alone procedure, and in combination with additional procedures:

Extended abdominoplasty: A complete abdominoplasty plus a lateral thigh lift.
High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck: (Advanced technique Tummy Tuck). In addition to vertical-line tightening, muscles are also tightened horizontally.
Circumferential abdominoplasty: Extended abdominoplasty plus a buttock lift. Operation is also called a Belt Lipectomy / Body Lift.
Combination procedures: Abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction contouring, breast reduction, breast lift, or occasionally hysterectomy, depending on the reason for the hysterectomy.
