Surgery of the Abdomen

If you desire a tighter, flatter abdomen a tummy tuck may be what you need. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a common term for the surgical procedure to remove excess flat and skin of the abdomen. This operation also tightens the abdonminal muscularture and contours the abdomen.

The tummy tuck also removes any strech marks below the belly button. The best candidates for a tummy tuck are men and women who are in relatively good shape, but have loose abdominal skin and/or excess abdominal fat that won’t respond to dieting and exercise.

The scars are initially very obvious but fade over time. Any previous scars in the lower abdomen (midline or c section scars) are commonly removed with the tummy tuck.
