Are you a candidate for a tummy tuck?

Diet and exercise work wonders for health and self-esteem, but there are sometimes reluctant areas of the body that just won't cooperate with your vision. Often, loose and saggy abdominal skin and lack of tone in the abdomen follow a pregnancy or weight loss. A bulging umbilical or abdominal wall hernia can also impact the look of the abdomen.

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, improves the appearance of the abdomen by reducing and removing excess fat and skin and tightening the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck may be the solution for patients with pockets of fat or loose skin that have not responded to traditional diet and exercise.

What is a "mini" tummy tuck?

A mini tummy tuck or mini-abdominoplasty, is ideal for patients with small amount of excess lower abdominal skin and a generally toned abdomen. Because this approach is performed through a limited incision, recovery is usually much quicker. A mini tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction to achieve the desired look.

Tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover

A tummy tuck can be part of a mommy makeover, which restores the shape and appearance of a woman's body after childbirth. The makeover typically addresses several areas at once, including the breasts, abdomen, genitalia and buttocks.
