Tummy
tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure designed to:
- Remove
excess abdominal skin.
- Contour
or remove excess abdominal fat
- Tighten
and support the stretched or weakened abdominal muscles,
especially after pregnancies.

A
mini abdominoplasty is one in which the abdominal scar is
kept very short. It may be appropriate if your main problem
is lax muscle tone and/or excess fat. The trade off is that
the shorter the incision, the less skin which can be removed.
If you have a lot of excess fat present under the abdominal
skin, Dr. Davidson may recommend weight reduction or liposuction
as a first step. Tummy tucks may be deferred until the amount
of abdominal fat is reduced to an acceptable amount.
Extended
abdominoplasty or lower body lift may be performed for people
who have lost a significant amount of weight. In this case
a longer than average incision may be necessary.
Dr.
Davidson may discourage you from undergoing a tummy tuck
if you are planning to have additional children in the near
future.
