Are there any less invasive ways to achieve the same results as a tummy tuck? i would love to get a tummy tuck but i am afraid to go through such a drastic procedure. are there any alternative procedures that achieve similar results as a tummy tuck?

The : The first item to discern is to determine if there is extra skin, bulging fat above the muscles, separation of the vertical abdominal muscles or fat within the deeper cavity that is pushing outward. Once that is established then the proper procedure can be selected for you. If only localized fat in the front and sides of the abdomen then liposuction can give be used to sculpt these areas. Otherwise the abdominal muscles need to be tightened with removal and contouring of the skin & fat. A complete evaluation will choose the procedure that is optimal for you.

If your skin is adequately elastic and sub-cutaneous fat is the primary issue, then liposuction may be a viable less invasive alternative that can be performed without general anesthesia. Non-invasive, safe and painless exilis radiofrequency "melts fat" and tightens without surgery, but not to the extent a tummy tuck would.

If : If you have extra skin in the abdominal area, you have to excise it.. There are no other means of getting rid of that extra..
