Tummy Tuck Surgery

Overview

Tummy tuck plastic surgery procedure is more comprehensive and may address both lower and upper abdominal areas as per the patient’s needs. The procedure is primarily designed to reduce excess skin in the tummy area in order to produce a smoother and more youthful looking abdominal contour. However, if the underlying abdominal muscles are weakened or separated, the surgeon will also tighten these muscles for more sustainable results.

Through the same incisions that will be used to excise loose skin, the surgeon may also remove excess fat tissue from the abdomen. In some cases, tummy tuck may be combined with liposuction for more effective results. A number of surgical techniques are available today to perform tummy tuck.
