Tighten and Tone With a Tummy Tuck
Do you tend to give yourself a hard time about that lower belly “pouch” that just won’t budge no matter what? If all the healthy eating and working out in the world is getting you nowhere, the tummy tuck body contouring procedure may be just what you need.
Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a treatment for localized fat and excess skin in the belly area. It’s quite popular with people from all walks of life, including men who want a more sculpted abdominal definition and mothers who want to escape the physical toll pregnancy has taken on their stomachs. It’s also great for skin removal after large-volume weight loss.
Your Tummy Tuck Options
You can choose from mini and full tummy tucks, depending on your contouring needs. With the mini tuck, excess skin and fat is removed from the area below the belly button. With a full tuck, a wider stomach range is covered and a new belly button is recreated.
Are You a Candidate?
Great tummy tuck candidates are healthy and within a normal to slightly overweight range. Patients should not have diabetes and should quit smoking prior to the surgery.
