Can you tell me about a tummy tuck?

Helps in many ways: A 'tummy tuck' or abdominoplasty is designed to help in multiple ways. It allows for removal of excess skin and fat of the lower abdominal area, give more definition of the waste, and allow for for repair of the '6 pack' muscles that have seperated over time. In consultation, your doctor can show you how all those are done and the usual incision location (bikini line incision).

Tummy Tuck: Weight loss, pregnancy and genetics are all factors that can cause the tummy to develop loose, sagging skin and a bulging appearance. The tummy tuck procedure removes excess loose skin, creates a slimmer waist, and tightens underlying abdominal muscles.

TT Candidate: Patients who are healthy but have EXCESS SKIN OR FAT that does not respond to diet and exercise. Patients who have undergone SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS and have hanging skin.

The tummy tuck procedure is really helpful to address this problem since loss of skin and muscle stretch cannot be solved with dieting and exercise.
