In this, I would like to cover a procedure that improves and flattens the abdomen. Most of you may have heard such a procedure as “tummy tuck.” It is also known as “abdominoplasty.”

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen. Those who have excess fat or skin might opt for the tummy tuck for a flatter and toned abdomen.

There are a couple of reasons people undergo abdominoplasty. They include significant weight gain or weight loss, pregnancy, C-section delivery, etc.

Tummy tuck gets rid of excess, and loose skin tightens the connective tissue of the abdomen and can improve stretch marks in the lower abdomen.

If you had a C-section delivery, then the plastic surgeon can make an incision on the C-section scar to minimize post-surgical scarring.

A tummy tuck can be done in conjunction with other body sculpting cosmetic procedures such as breast surgery and liposuction. It would be a good idea to have both tummy tuck and liposuction together.

The reason is that liposuction removes just fat from the body, not the excess skin.
