Even if you maintain a good diet and exercise program, in some cases it is very difficult to reach the flat and sculpted abdomen you want. Excess skin that remains after a significant loss of weight can not be hardened by doing additional crunches.
Abdominal muscles that have been stretched and weakened from pregnancies can not be restored by eating fewer calories and spending more time in the gym. It can be particularly frustrating when changes in the body result in a permanent protrusion in the belly that can not be addressed despite your best efforts. In all these cases, the tummy tuck can help.
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat, while tensing the abdominal muscles in order to create a firmer and flat abdominal profile.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
People with excess skin and localized fat in the abdominal region may be good candidates for tummy tucks, especially if loose skin and excess fat are resistant to diet and exercise. Women whose abdominal muscles have been stretched and weakened by pregnancy, as well as people who have lost a significant amount of weight can also benefit from a tummy tuck procedure.
