Tummy Tuck Information
Excess abdominal skin can be a frustrating cosmetic concern for both men and women. Those who have a lost a significant amount of weight may be affected by drooping skin on the stomach that does not respond to diet or exercise. Unfortunately, there are no exercises, creams, pills, or potions that will shrink extra skin. The only way patients can treat this flaw is by having it surgically removed during the tummy tuck procedure.
During tummy tuck surgery, a horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen. The surgeon then tightens the skin and underlying muscles, removes any excess skin that has accumulated, repositions the belly button, and closes the incision. The result is a smoother, flatter belly, and bathing suits and undergarments can hide any scars caused by the surgery. The tummy tuck procedure is ideal for patients who have experienced stretching of abdominal skin due to pregnancy or significant weight loss.
