Ledgectomy in Sacramento
Many individuals strive for a flat and smooth lower abdomen through diet and exercise. However, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or surgeries such as C-sections or hysterectomies can leave behind excess, sagging skin that resists even the most disciplined efforts.
If you are frustrated with how your lower abdomen looks due to skin laxity, a Ledgectomy offers a targeted solution to remove the excess skin and improve the contour of your lower abdomen without needing a full tummy tuck.
How Ledgectomy Can Help You Achieve a Smoother Abdomen
Dealing with lower abdominal skin laxity is not just a cosmetic concern. Extra skin can make finding clothes that fit well a challenge, impact your self-confidence, and cause discomfort. Whether your extra skin is from previous surgeries or simply age-related changes, sagging skin can be frustrating.
The Ledgectomy specifically targets loose, hanging skin in the lower abdomen and offers the following benefits:
- Reduces the appearance of C-section or hysterectomy scar skin flaps
- Improves the look of general lower abdominal skin laxity
- Provides a less invasive option compared to a traditional tummy tuck
- Enhances the fit and comfort of clothing
- Boosts confidence in wearing fitted clothing, swimsuits, or high-waisted styles
Ledgectomy Surgery and Recovery
At Granite Bay Cosmetic, our surgeons perform the Ledgectomy at our private, accredited surgical center using general anesthesia, depending on your needs. With years of experience in body contouring procedures, our surgeons take a personalized approach to helping you achieve a flatter, smoother lower abdomen.
Ledgectomy incisions are carefully placed along the natural folds of the lower abdomen or near prior scars, allowing for easy concealment. Our doctors will work with you to ensure minimal scarring and optimal results. Ledgectomy incision locations vary per patient.
Most patients can return to work within a week and gradually resume physical activities after two to three weeks, with light exercise following shortly after. If you combine the Ledgectomy with other procedures, your surgeon will give you personalized instructions for recovery. During your consultation, your surgeon will also explain all the details of Ledgectomy surgery and recovery.
