Abdominioplasty
A Tummy Tuck is done to remove the excess skin and fat on your abdomen that may have been the result from pregnancy, obesity or age. With a full abdominoplasty, the benefits include tightening of the abdominal muscles which will help create a firmer appearance.
A tummy tuck sometimes is combined with smart lipo in order to provide a tighter,more contoured and defined look by first removing the fat and then tightening the skin.
You may be the ideal candidate for a tummy tuck if you have large fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that does not respond to exercise and diet. You should be in relatively good shape and physically healthy. Tummy tuck surgery can be particularly effective when it is performed after significant weight loss, if you have weakened abdominal muscles or decreased skin elasticity. This procedure can remove stretch marks from the lower area of your abdomen as well.
