Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a ‘tummy tuck’, is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.

The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip. Abdominoplasty is a complex procedure with risks and a possibility of complications associated with the procedure that will be discussed during your consultation. If, for example, your fat deposits are limited to the area below the navel, you may require a less complex procedure called a partial Abdominoplasty, also known as a mini tummy tuck.
You may benefit more from partial or complete Abdominoplasty done in combination with liposuction to remove fat deposits from the hips, for a better body contour. Or maybe liposuction alone would create the best result. In any case, your surgeon should work with you to recommend the procedure that is right for you and will come closest to producing the desired body contour. If you’re considering a tummy tuck, the information below will give you a basic understanding of the procedure: when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect.
