TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty,
is a common term for the surgical procedure to correct protruding or loose, sagging
abdomen. Areas to be treated may include the center of the
abdomen or may extend to the entire area between the lower rib
cage and pubic bone, as well as to the sides and back. The most
common causes of protruding or loose, sagging abdomen include
heredity, multiple pregnancies, prior surgery, significant
fluctuations in weight, or congenital spine abnormalities that
affect posture. If you want a tighter, flatter, abdomen, then
a tummy tuck may be appropriate to help achieve your goals. In
general, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in some
cases restores weakened or separated muscles. This creates an
abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer, often enhancing
your body image and confidence. The procedure can be performed
with other body contouring procedures such as
liposuction and
the breast. A decision on additional procedures will be
determined at your consultation and whether it is medically
prudent and safe. Make sure your procedure is performed by
a board certified
plastic surgeon such as
Dr. Parker and
in an approved
facility
such as Meridian Surgery Center.
