Tummy tucks are the operations we perform to improve the appearance of the abdomen. I am seeing more and more women now after they have had children and their families and they basically want their body back. So the abdominoplasty or the tummy tuck helps to remove the extra skin, helps to tighten up their tummy muscles that have been weakened from pregnancy and the circumferential tummy tuck basically again wraps around the whole body to improve their entire waistline. The tummy tuck operations are performed as outpatient procedures. Generally, the patient will go to sleep for the surgery and it involves a combination of liposuction to remove the unwanted fat and then a surgical removal of the excess skin that will not shrink with just liposuction alone.
