A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to remove excess tissue and fat present in a person’s abdomen. This surgery can be performed as a front tummy tuck, which is often called liposuction or a classical tummy tuck technique. Liposuction technique involves removing excess fat by vacuum method. The front tummy tuck technique, on the other hand, involves removing excess tissue and fat by making an incision. This procedure can also be done in conjunction with tensing the abdominal muscles. This surgery is usually done for aesthetic purposes, but sometimes it can be done due to health problems in the abdomen. This surgery always carries risks, so potential patients should learn enough about tummy tuck surgery and talk to the surgeon.
