The natural process of childbirth can take its toll in many ways and the tummy is often the most affected. Even after appropriate dieting and exercise, an 'apron' of sagging skin and fatty deposits may remain.

The abdomen lift operation will reduce these problems and reclaim a waistline. In later life too, many men and women regain a lithe, youthful figure, which is particularly liberating if they enjoy such activities as swimming or sunbathing.

The surgeon will remove the loose skin and fatty deposits and the incision will be made low enough on the abdomen to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. At the same time abdominal muscles will be tightened to produce a pleasing overall result.
