What is the abdominoplasty procedure?

The abdominoplasty procedure is performed to liposuction excess fat in the midsection area before removing excess skin. The result of the tummy tuck procedure is a flatter, firmer tummy. The incision is made right above the pubic area but below the panty line so it can be concealed with underwear and bathing suits when exposing more skin. In addition to the stomach area, patients may have other areas treated as well, including the flanks (“muffin top”) and the buttocks.

What is achieved with the abdominoplasty?

Patients consider the tummy tuck procedure because of excess fat in the midsection. If liposuctioned, it may leave behind loose, sagging skin.

Patients can discuss with their doctor the results they can expect after the procedure.
