Sometimes after multiple pregnancies or weight loss, abdominal muscles weaken and skin in the area becomes loose. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can tighten your abdominal muscles and smooth your skin.
Both men and women are candidates for tummy tuck. The procedure removes the excess fat and loose skin that create unflattering bulges and prevent you from wearing certain types of clothing.
Generally, an incision is made low across the pubic area which allows it to be hidden within bathing suit lines.
Mini-abdominoplasty:
When skin laxity and muscle weakness are confined to the lower part of the abdomen, a modified abdominoplasty, or "mini-abdominoplasty," that limits tissue removal and muscle repair to the area below the navel may be recommended. This more limited procedure usually leaves a shorter scar.
Whatever technique is recommended for you, the goal of the procedure is a firmer, flatter abdomen. Most patients who choose to undergo a tummy tuck are amazed by their new body contour and love the way their clothes fit.
