Tummy tuck surgery, also called abdominoplasty, is an aesthetic procedure designed to remove loose, excess skin of the abdomen and fat deposits that are resistant to a normal diet and exercise. In addition, this procedure can restore a stretched or torn abdominal muscle due to significant, often rapid weight changes. By eliminating a few centimeters and pounds around the middle part of the body with abdominoplasty, doctors can help patients achieve a smoother, cleaner belly with incredibly natural results.

Who is the perfect candidate for a tummy tuck?
As a rule, candidates for surgery to tighten the abdomen are people who want to go on a diet and accumulate load-resistant fats and / or loose skin and muscles in the abdomen. Despite these specific indications, it is important to know that abdominoplasty is not considered a weight loss procedure. In fact, ideal patients should have (or very close) the desired weight, as well as good general health. In addition, they, as a rule, should have children (since any future pregnancy can jeopardize the results) and have realistic expectations of the final result of their procedure.
Ultimately, a tummy tuck operation can be very helpful for patients who simply cannot get rid of an extra piece of skin in the abdomen, as well as for women who have problems strengthening the middle part of the abdomen after pregnancy.
