Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty or Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to flatten the abdomen. Many factors can cause your abdomen to look unsightly including weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, aging, previous surgery, stretched out abdominal muscles, and just hereditary appearances. It is not uncommon that surgery is indicated in people that are successful at losing weight with diet and exercise in order to create the flat abdomen many desire.

Abdominoplasty often can reduce or even get rid of stretch marks, excess sagging skin and excess fat tissue of the abdomen. Liposuction is often utilized to reduce the amount of fat. Some people will require the abdominal muscles to be moved and tightened to ensure a more natural look to the abdomen, especially after pregnancy. The hips and waist are often also positively affected by abdominoplasty, creating the curves many desire. The overall goal is a tight, flat abdomen with a natural curve at the transition zone from waist to the hips.
