Tummy Tuck

Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck surgery can help you get rid of persistent fat deposits on your stomach and lower abdomen. If fat deposits remain even after diet and exercise, the surgery can remove the fat, tighten abdominal muscles and skin, and give you the slim waistline you want. Abdominoplasty is also useful if you have lost a large amount of weight and are troubled by loose folds of leftover skin.

There are two main types of tummy tuck surgery:

1. Complete abdominoplasty. During the procedure, your plastic surgeon makes an incision on your abdomen just above the pubic area, where a bathing suit will conceal any scars. Your physician then surgically removes fat, tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall, removes excess skin, and repositions the belly button. The whole surgery generally takes from two to three hours.

2. Partial abdominoplasty, which is also known as a "mini-tummy tuck," has a smaller incision and no relocation of the belly button. The whole surgery generally takes only an hour or two.

Abdominoplasty results in a flatter stomach and a slimmer waistline. With proper diet and exercise, these results can be permanent.
