Tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, are one of the more invasive types of cosmetic surgery. The procedure can correct excess subcutaneous fat, sagging skin, weak abdominal muscles and even stretch marks located primarily below the belly button to a certain extent.

When a tummy tuck removes excess subcutaneous fat, liposuction may be used as a technique for its removal. Liposuction can effectively minimize these localized fat deposits to achieve a more desirable abdominal contour. In fact, liposuction may be the only technique necessary to recontour the abdominal area.

Your cosmetic physician will discuss the techniques used during your tummy tuck procedure in the consultative process.
