"I just can't seem to get rid of my hanging stomach", a comment often heard after pregnancy where muscles and skin have stretched beyond a point where they can return to normal position. Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a tummy tuck is a procedure that smoothes and flattens the abdomen by tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall and removing the excess skin and fat.
The best candidates are men and women who are in relatively good shape, but bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet and exercise. Women who plan future pregnancies should wait, since the vertical muscles in the abdomen which are tightened can separate again during pregnancy. Consulting with a Plastic surgeon prior to having an abdominoplasty procedure is a must.
