Everything you need to know before having a tummy tuck

The goal of an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is to improve the overall appearance of the abdomen by contouring, firming, and shaping the abdominal area.

A tummy tuck can do two things- superficially, the procedure removes excess skin and fat, while internally, it restores the abdominal muscle wall structure creating a flatter, stronger abdomen

The main reasons patients are seeking a tummy tuck is they aren’t happy with their body post-pregnancy, or they had a time of weight gain and loss, or had previous bariatric surgery, resulting in rectus diastasis (separation of the rectus muscles that run vertically on the abdomen). Follow this link
