Full tummy tuck remove excess abdomen skin & fat, newport beach, irvine, orange county, california

A tummy tuck is the surgical removal of excess skin or fatty deposits from the abdomen, along with the repositioning of abdomen muscles into a tighter formation. This procedure is designed for those who wish to have a flatter and tighter stomach. It is also helpful in remedying the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis, which can occur following pregnancy.

Some individuals may lose muscle tone in the abdomen causing problem areas that include sagginess, excess fat deposit or a protruding abdomen. These problems are caused by pregnancy, significant weight gain and loss, aging, or your genetic predisposition. Sometimes maintaining a healthy lifestyle including healthy food choices and exercise are not enough to eliminate these problem areas. For many individuals, a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) is an effective solution to their problem areas.

A tummy tuck is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle that includes moderate exercise and a healthy diet and is not considered a weight loss aid or a treatment for obesity. Tummy tucks are advantageous to individuals who have stubborn fat in their abdomen or a reduction in abdominal muscles.

CONSIDERATIONS

The overall outcome and results of a liposuction procedure is the elimination of stubborn body fat. The results of liposuction include a proportioned body shape, improved tone, decreased fatty deposits and an overall stunning body transformation.

Individuals considering a tummy tuck to improve problem areas in the abdomen may identify the following challenges:

  • Inability of dieting and exercise to improve the abdomen area.
  • Excessive accumulation of sagging or hanging skin following weight loss.
  • Loss of skin elasticity or diastases (loose abdomen muscles) due to pregnancy.
  • Unsightly skin and fat deposits around the abdomen.
