Tummy Tuck
Questions About Tummy Tuck Surgery
A tummy tuck may address skin, localized fat, and abdominal-wall support, but it is not a weight-loss procedure.
The guide
Three points to consider.
ICRS describes abdominoplasty as an operation that can remove selected abdominal skin and fat and, when appropriate, improve abdominal-wall support.
Useful consultation questions include whether skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle separation, or internal abdominal fat is creating the concern; what the scar would be; and whether liposuction, a limited procedure, a full tummy tuck, or no operation is the better fit.
Cost cannot be determined from a procedure name alone. The written estimate follows examination and the exact surgical, facility, anesthesia, garment, and follow-up plan.
