Abdominoplasty surgery provides a flatter abdominal profile by removing sagging abdominal skin and excess tissue. But it's important to be realistic about stretch marks: the process won't magically erase all cracks.
Which Cracks Can Go?
If the stretch marks are located on the removed lower abdominal skin, they can also disappear as this area is removed with the surgery. Therefore, some patients experience significant improvement.
Which Cracks May Remain?
Stretch marks remaining above the navel or in the area of skin to be protected may continue to exist after surgery. In other words, recovery occurs, but “full reset” is not always possible.
What is the Real Power of Surgery?
The main goal of tummy tuck surgery is; is to reduce laxity, collect excess skin and correct the abdominal contour. The improvement in cracks is often an additional gain of this recovery.
Why is Realistic Expectation Important?
One of the things that makes the patient happiest is knowing clearly what will change and what will not change before the surgery. Honest planning is the foundation of post-operative satisfaction.
