A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure to address the changes to the abdomen that occur with pregnancy. The skin of the abdomen is stretched and in some cases overstretched causing stretch marks and in addition the underlying muscle layer is stretched and weakened.

Sometimes, liposuction can be added to a tummy tuck to create additional contouring to the flanks. The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is someone who is at their ideal weight, in good medical health, and has realistic expectations. There should be enough excess skin and fat that can be removed with this procedure. A tummy tuck is not designed to be a weight loss procedure, and is not a substitute for a proper diet and exercise regimen. A tummy tuck is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.

Some patients come to my office complaining of laxity, or looseness, of the skin around the belly button. This is called mid-abdominal skin laxity. Usually in this situation there is not enough extra skin in the lower abdominal area for them to undergo a full tummy tuck. Just because you have loose skin on the abdomen doesn't mean you're a candidate for a tummy tuck. In theory, in order to do a full tummy tuck, there should be enough loose skin so that it can stretch from just above the belly button all the way down to the incision above the pubic hairline.

These can be difficult to correct with diet and exercise. Pregnancy, massive weight loss, and aging can cause the muscles and skin in the midsection to stretch and lose elasticity with difficulty returning to its natural state. Tummy tuck surgery can dramatically help patients achieve a flatter, more toned appearance.

There is no specific weight necessary to “qualify” for a tummy tuck procedure. Every patient's situation is considered individually. Generally, I advise patients to be as close as possible to a long-term stable weight prior to undergoing any body contouring surgery.

Then a tummy tuck also is not for you. A tummy tuck should be a last resort after you've tried everything else. It should not be used as an alternative to weight loss. You should also consider the appearance of scars after a tummy tuck. You can talk about scar placement and length with the doctor before the surgery.

The tummy tuck addresses these problems to remove the loose skin and tighten the muscle layer. Liposuction is often used with this procedure to address excess fat on the abdomen and hip and/or flank areas as well. The procedure is not a weight losing operation.
