Tummy Tuck is a procedure that reduces the excess fat and skin in the mid-section to create a more desirable mid-section appearance. Many women seek out the Tummy Tuck procedure following pregnancy when they are left with excess, sagging skin and stretched out or loosened abdominal muscles. The Tummy Tuck procedure, also called Abdominoplasty, is sought out by both men and women following a significant weight loss when excess, sagging skin is also commonly an unwanted issue. The Tummy Tuck can create a smoother, flatter and more defined abdominal appearance, and in some cases the Tummy Tuck may be performed in combination with Liposuction to also remove excess, stubborn pockets of fat.
If it important to understand that a Tummy Tuck is achieved through an incision that runs horizontally form hip to hip in the lower abdominal region; this incision will leave behind a permanent scar, though it is usually hidden by swimwear or underwear.
