Liposuction
Tummy Tucks remove skin and tighten the musculature. The incision and resultant scar are placed very low, just above the public hair. If the patient has an incision from a C-section or a hysterectomy, this incision is used and sometimes made slightly longer.The length of the incision determines the amount of skin that can be removed.Muscles are tightened through the incision, and the skin is then pulled in a downward direction to provide a tight and smooth contour. Often times, this is performed in conjunction with liposuction, which is a wonderful addition to reduce "love handles" and improve the contour of the waist. Tummy tuck recovery varies with the magnitude of the procedure.
