TUMMY TUCK

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a commonly performed surgery that tightens weak or stretched muscles and removes excess skin, creating a flat and toned abdomen. Many women dream of having a flat stomach, but unless you are a fitness fanatic, it is unlikely you will ever achieve it. Even those who are a small dress size 8 complain of having a flabby tummy.After child birth or dieting, you may be left with unsightly skin folds which no amount of diets or exercise will correct. This can be depressing and cause a woman to be self conscious, especially on holiday, when wearing a bikini is out of the question. The only option to remove skin folds on the stomach is tummy tuck surgery .

Tummy tucks are not just for the ladies. Many men find that after significant weight loss, they are left with excess skin and stretch marks. Tummy tuck surgery can remove the stretch marks and loose skin. After surgery, men no longer need to cover up on the beach or hide their bodies beneath loose fitting clothing. The mini tummy tuck, or mini abdominoplasty, is ideal for people who have excessive fat between the belly button and the pubic bone. Bulging in this area is due to the accumulation of excess fatty tissue as well as flaccidity of the lower stomach muscles.

Tummy tuck costs vary based on the region/location, the surgeon performing the procedure, demand, time and effort required during the procedure, and what is required from start to finish, such as anesthesia fees, hospital stay fees, lab fees, etc. Patients can usually expect the procedure to cost $5,000-$9,000. To consult with a cosmetic surgeon and discuss a tummy tuck procedure and the overall cost, find a surgeon in your area who is right for you.
