Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, remove excess abdominal skin, reduce fat, and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Unless there is significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the abdomen should remain firm and flat for many years following surgery. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that tummy tuck was the fourth most popular surgical procedure for women in 2007.

There are many variations both to the design of the incisions and the tummy tuck technique itself. A horizontal incision is usually placed just above the pubic area. If a patient has loose skin above the navel, the plastic surgeon may make an incision around the navel so that redundant skin above it can be pulled down. The procedure may include tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles using sutures. Sometimes liposuction may be used alone, or in conjunction with abdominoplasty, to remove abdominal fat.

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform tummy tuck in South Dakota. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.
