If you're considering an abdominoplasty in San Francisco
...
Even people who stick to strict exercise and weight-control
programs very often find they can’t achieve the flat,
well-toned stomachs they desire. The reasons are many: from
simple heredity and spine abnormalities to multiple pregnancies,
prior surgery, the simple fact of aging, and dramatic fluctuations
in weight. The problem also afflicts people of normal weight
and body proportion. Despite their best efforts, their
stomachs protrude over their waistlines, or the skin
is loose and sagging. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, helps you achieve a flatter, tighter abdomen
by removing excess fat and skin, and in some cases, by
restoring weakened or separated muscles. The result of an abdominoplasty is
a flatter, smoother stomach that is more pleasing to the
eye. In this section, you will discover:
- how
a tummy tuck can improve your appearance
- what you can realistically
expect from tummy tuck surgery
- whether you’re
a suitable candidate for tummy tuck surgery
- the options available

A tummy tuck is formally known as abdominoplasty.
It surgically corrects a loose or sagging abdomen. It entails
a number of techniques. When loose, sagging skin and tissue
are the cause for example, the unwanted fat, skin, and tissue
is surgically removed. When local fat is the cause, liposuction
may be used as part of body
contour surgery. If abdominal
muscles have weakened or separated, a condition called diastasis, surgery
can correct them. An abdominoplasty cannot remove stretch
marks, except when they’re located on the skin to be
removed, which is typically below the navel. Furthermore, a tummy
tuck cannot be a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle,
which includes moderate exercise.
