Liposuction,
Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty
or "tummy tuck" is the most common
procedure for flattening the stomach. The
tummy tuck is helpful to women who have
stretched muscles and skin after pregnancy,
or for women who have lost a great deal
of weight. The procedure removes excess
skin from the middle and lower abdomen and
tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall.
The resulting scar
is permanent, but can be hidden below the
bikini line. Along with the tummy tuck,
your surgeon may recommend liposuction to
remove excess fat deposits...creating a
more desirable body contour. Patients who
plan to loose a lot of weight or plan future
pregnancies should probably postpone having
a tummy tuck.
