TUMMY TUCK

A tummy tuck is performed to correct changes in the contour of the abdomen resulting from weight fluctuations, changes following pregnancy, or after bariatric weight-loss surgery.

During the procedure, excess skin is removed from the abdomen and the abdominal wall muscles are tightened, resulting in a firm, flat abdomen. In some patients, liposculpture of the back and waist may be performed simultaneously to achieve a more harmonious body contour.

It is important to remember that this surgery is not intended for weight loss; therefore, patients with overweight or obesity issues are not candidates for this type of procedure. An exercise routine and a balanced diet are recommended after surgery to optimize and maintain the results.
