The Tummy Tuck is a procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the mid-section when there is excess, sagging skin. Many people struggle with their mid-section for a variety of reasons…some find that after a significant weight loss, as is often seen in patients who undergo bariatric surgery, that they have left-over hanging skin. Women who have had multiple pregnancies also often use Tummy Tuck to improve their mid-section appearance when their abdominal muscles have been stretched out and the skin is sagging. Many people struggle with excess, stubborn fat in the mid-section as well that is more resistant to diet and exercise than the rest of their body. The Tummy Tuck alone is not designed to reduce stubborn fat cells, but some patients pair the Tummy Tuck with Liposuction to both remove excess, sagging skin, tighten the abdominal muscles, and remove stubborn fat in the area.
