Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a procedure performed to improve the appearance of stretched and sometimes flabby abdominal muscles and skin. The tummy tuck is commonly used to help improve appearance, especially after massive weight gain and loss. Excessive fatty tissue and loose skin are removed from the middle and lower sections of the abdomen and the muscles may be tightened. A tummy tuck is often combined with a liposuction to enhance the final result of the procedure. Depending on your personal situation your surgeon may recommend a less complex procedure called a mini tummy tuck.
