What is a tummy tuck ?
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck can treat excess skin and excess fat in the belly that does not disappear despite sport and a balanced diet.
The abdominoplasty scar is placed on the lower abdomen to be hidden in swimsuits or underwear. The navel is preserved during this procedure.
The result is appreciable about 3 months after the intervention after disappearance of bruising and skin oedema.
Its price depends on the complexity of your case.
Support by social security is possible in the event of abdominal apron covering the pubis or diastasis recti, i.e. the relaxation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy (mommy makeover).
