Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

Tummy tuck, also referred to as abdominoplasty is a specialized procedure, performed to tighten overly stretched abdominal muscles and skin by removing excess fat. The procedure can be done along with liposuction to get the desired results. With the advancements in liposuction techniques, getting rid of excess fat from the stomach area has become easy and effortless. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the area is liposuctioned and muscles are tightened if needed.

For doing a standard tummy tuck, the incision is made above the pubic hairline and extends towards the hip bones near the natural crease at the bottom of the abdomen. If only a small amount of skin is removed, the incision may be limited to just above the pubic hairline.
