TUMMY TUCK OR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove excess abdominal skin and fat unresponsive to exercise and dieting. The result is a flatter, firmer stomach. Reasons for undergoing this procedure include:

• Excess or loose abdominal skin • Excess fat • Pregnancy, aging or significant weight loss that results in weakened abdominal muscle and causes a sagging appearance

The best candidates are those that are in relatively good health but have loose abdominal skin or fat unresponsive to diet or exercise. A personal consultant can best determine if you are a candidate for this procedure or possibly a "mini-abdominoplasty" or even liposuction.
