Patients who are not at their ideal weight can also benefit from an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Redundant skin and fat is removed from below the belly button and the abdominal wall contour is restored with internal sutures. Liposuction of strategic areas such as the back and flanks can help to create a beautiful plus size figure. Additionally, the significant boost in self confidence helps patients to sometime loose additional weight after surgery which may further improve the post operative results.
