Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The “tummy tuck” involves removing the skin and fat from the lower abdomen allowing Dr. Watts to repair the underlying rectus abdominus muscles. These muscles are often stretched apart from pregnancy and after weight gain. The result is a flatter, tighter appearing stomach.
Possible complications
Possible complications include scarring, asymmetry, recurrence, changes in nipple sensation, nipple necrosis, and reduction in ability to breastfeed. These will be discussed in depth by Dr. Watts during your consultation.
