The abdomen is an area of the body that is vulnerable to physical changes and disfigurement. Pregnancy and weight changes can result in loose skin, stretch marks, and fat accumulation in the abdomen, suprapubic area, and flanks. In addition, the abdominal muscles tend to stretch and shift laterally, causing bulging of the abdomen and loss of abdominal wall tone and strength. A lipoabdominoplasty or “tummy-tuck” is the ideal procedure to obtain a flat and contoured body.
