Tummy Tuck
An abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that tightens or removes abdominal muscles and eliminates excess skin and fat from the abdomen.
The process is intended to make the abdominal muscles more taunt, flat and to dramatically diminish the appearance of a protruding middle section.
The Best Candidates
A tummy tuck is ideal for patients who are in reasonably good physical condition but are dissatisfied with loose skin or fat deposits of the abdomen that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure is particularly helpful for individuals who have stretched abdominal muscles and loss of skin elasticity, either through multiple pregnancies or as the result of aging. Candidates should not be severely overweight, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant in the future.
