A tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that helps remove flab or excess skin from the abdomen that normal exercise and dieting will not remove.If you have ever tried to achieve a well toned abdomen you know how hard it may be to remove the excess skin. Our procedure removes this excess skin and tightens the muscles on the abdomen wall. Liposuction is a common procedure associated with a tummy tuck because it helps remove the extra fat and a tummy tuck gets rid of the excess skin.

The procedure also helps to strengthen and restore weakened muscles, thereby, developing an abdomen profile that is frimer and smoother. Many people admire a flat, well-toned abdomen. As a result many people choose to exercise and loss weight to achieve a flat tummy. However, in most occasions, the exercises and the weight loss efforts do not work, thereby, leading to a sagging tummy. The fact that sagging abdomen might be as a result of genetics, it becomes difficult to achieve a flat tummy through exercises and weight loss sessions. The only, reliable solution that remains to a person that has a sagging abdomen as a result of genetics, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging is to go for a tummy tuck procedure.
