A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty,
can remove excess skin and fatty deposits from the
middle and lower abdomen. Muscles in the abdominal
wall are also tightened to increase firmness and skin
elasticity. The result is a significant reduction
in a protruding abdomen and a more narrowed waistline.

Mini Tuck (or partial abdominoplasty)
information: If fat deposits are limited to the area
below the navel, you may require a less complex procedure
called a partial abdominoplasty or "mini tummy
tuck". This procedure can be done in conjunction
with liposuction to help eliminate that lower abdominal
"pooch" that often accompanies age. A mini
tuck can often be performed on a outpatient basis, with
local and sedation anesthesia rather than general, and
much less post-operative down time.
