Also called “abdominoplasty,” is the ideal procedure for people who have excess abdominal fat and skin and/or weakened abdominal muscles. Many times, patients cannot lose the last bit of fat on their abdomen, and no lotion or expensive product will help get rid of sagging skin. The tummy tuck targets the core of the concern by first tightening the abdominal muscles, which will provide a tighter structure for the skin to cling to. Excess fat is removed, and the skin is re-draped over the firmer foundation. The effects of pregnancy, aging, and weight fluctuations will be virtually undetectable in the abdominal area after this procedure.
