Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck surgery) can remove excess skin in the abdominal region and tighten the remainder for a firmer, flatter appearance.
Abdominoplasty is best used to correct problems directly associated with the midsection; it is not an overall weight loss solution. In fact, a tummy tuck is most suitable for men and women of relatively normal weight who have loose skin or excess fat in the abdominal region.
It can also be an appropriate choice for women whose abdominal muscles have been stretched and weakened by pregnancy. A tummy tuck is a good choice for many people but it is not right for everyone. If you are considering weight loss after surgery, you should discuss whether or not this is the right time for a Franklin County abdominoplasty with Dr. Newman.
