Read more about tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is used to remove excess and saggy skin, as well as fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen. It can also involve the surgical tightening of abdominal muscles to give the stomach a flatter, more toned appearance.
Who is a Tummy Tuck suitable for?
The best candidates for tummy tucks are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that will not respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they cannot return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.
