Abdominoplasty
Sometimes simply dieting and exercising are not enough to take care of waistline problems. In such cases, a patient may consider having a tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty). A tummy tuck involves the surgical removal of excess skin and/or fatty deposits from the abdomen and may also include abdominal muscle tightening. This body enhancement procedure is designed for those who wish to have a flatter and tighter abdomen. It is also helpful in remedying the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis. Some studies have shown that an abdominoplasty can improve some lower back pain. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and the recovery can be lengthy.
