The tummy tuck is designed to tighten loose skin on the lower tummy most commonly after pregnancy has left loose skin behind.

The results of a tummy tuck are best if you are not overweight, have lost your "pregnancy fat" and are fit and at your "ideal weight". Excess fat on the abdomen can prevent the best tummy tuck result.

However, if you have done your best to loose weight and regain your fitness level, liposuction can be done in conjunction with a mini tummy tuck (not an extended abdominoplasty) with good results.
