Tummy Tuck
An abdominoplasty is a procedure that flattens your abdomen by removing extra fat and skin and tightening muscles in your abdominal wall. This surgical procedure is also known as a tummy tuck.
It is inconvenient to conduct regular 360 or upper back liposuction with Tummy Tuck in the same session since there is a considerable risk of circulation problems on the incisions. As a result, your surgeon will only conduct Liposuction for waist area with tummy tuck procedures. Patients with overall good health might consider having a tummy tuck surgery if they suffer from weak abdominal muscles and lose skin around their abdomen area. There are different types of tummy tuck, and your surgeon will advise the best option for you depending on your case.
