Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) at Avenue Plastic Surgery: welcomes patients considering plastic and cosmetic surgery from Melbourne, regional Victoria, other parts of Australia and overseas

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a procedure available at our Melbourne, Victoria practice that is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the waist and abdomen. It is also used to tighten abdominal muscles that have stretched or become weaker over time or following pregnancy. Individuals with a “spare tire” or “love handles” can also benefit from a tummy tuck. A flatter, tighter stomach is the outcome of an abdominoplasty. If you have too much or loose, sagging abdominal skin, if your abdomen protrudes from your body, or if you have excess fat under the abdominal skin, an abdominoplasty may be right for you.

Types of Tummy Tucks

Mini-tummy Tuck

A less invasive version of the full or radical abdominoplasty is the mini-abdominoplasty or “mini-tummy tuck.” The mini-tummy tuck performed at our Avenue Plastic Surgery Melbourne, Victoria is the appropriate choice for patients whose waistline and abdomen require less-extensive surgery. Much less removal of skin is necessary compared to a full tummy tuck, and a minimal scar is achieved.

Many patients also undergo liposuction in conjunction with their abdominoplasty at Avenue Plastic Surgery Melbourne, Victoria. We will be able to advise you as to the most appropriate procedure or combination of procedures, to produce the best possible outcome for you.
