Tummy Tuck

A flat stomach is important to a physically fit appearance. However, a healthy diet and regular abdominal workouts can sometimes do little to eliminate accumulations of excess fat and loose, sagging skin in the abdominal area. If you are bothered by these appearance problems, abdominoplasty (also called tummy tuck) may be a good choice for you.

Abdominoplasty is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen. This cosmetic procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and may also tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The result is a flatter, tighter abdominal profile.

You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if you have one or more of the following conditions:

• excess or loose, sagging abdominal skin
• an abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of the body
• abdominal muscles that have been weakened by pregnancy or aging
• excess fat that is concentrated beneath the abdominal skin
