Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and fatty tissue, and tightening muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with liposuction. Ideal candidates are those who have lost a significant amount of weight and are in good shape, but still find loose, sagging skin in their abdominal area. Other typical patients for tummy tuck surgery include women who have experienced multiple pregnancies and find that their stomach does not reduce to normal. For these candidates, they have stretched their abdomen to a point where no amount of dieting or exercising can restore its appearance.

There are other options available to achieve a flatter abdomen. A mini tummy tuck treats the abdominal area below the navel and involves a shorter scar. Liposuction can also help reduce a protruding abdomen by removing excess fat deposits. By consulting with a plastic surgeon, this will help you fully understand your options and help decide which method is right for you.
