Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure designed to create a flatter, firmer abdomen and improve body contours. It is almost always performed in combination with liposuction to remove excess fat and shape the figure. This ensures more defined results, addressing both fat deposits and overall body proportions for a sculpted appearance.
The surgery involves three key components: liposuction to contour the body, muscle tightening to restore separated or weakened abdominal muscles, and removal of excess saggy skin to create a smooth and toned abdominal profile. This comprehensive approach helps achieve dramatic improvements in the abdominal area, particularly after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
A tummy tuck can also be combined with procedures like a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for a more complete body transformation. Pairing these surgeries allows for simultaneous contouring of the front and back, creating harmonious proportions and enhancing the overall figure. This combination offers patients a personalized and comprehensive solution for achieving their aesthetic goals.
