Tummy Tuck
Purpose
A tummy tuck is primarily performed to address excess skin, fat, and muscle laxity in the abdominal area. It is suitable for individuals with significant skin sagging, stretched muscles (diastasis recti), and excess fat.
Procedure
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened. The remaining skin is then repositioned and sutured, resulting in a firmer and more toned abdominal contour.
Suitable Candidates
Tummy tucks are often chosen by individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, pregnancy, or have abdominal issues that cannot be adequately resolved through diet and exercise alone.
Results
Tummy tuck surgery can provide a more dramatic transformation by addressing both skin laxity and muscle separation. The procedure can lead to a flatter and tighter abdomen.
