There are numerous reasons for women's abdomens to not look or feel perfect.

Having children, aging or weight loss and weight gain could all be factors that contribute to losing that perfect form of youth. It is common for people to feel softer in their midsection, though there are instances, where the changes are permanent, where the a tummy tuck may be the answer.

Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is the surgical correction of a large abdomen or stretched abdominal skin. At Cosmetic Surgery For Women, we have had an increasing number of patients request this procedure as awareness of this solution is increasing. There is no need to remain with an imperfect abdomen if you feel it hurting you physically or psychologically.

Women have varying reasons for why a tummy tuck would be an appropriate solution.

The most common concerns of women requesting a tummy-tuck are:

• Feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment or shyness due to abdominal appearance
  
  
• Inability to exercise, play sport of lose weight as a result of abdominal size
  
  
• Difficulty in buying clothing due to imbalance in body proportions.
  
  
• Rashes below the abdomen
  
  
• Back discomfort or pain

In brief, the procedure is the removal of excess fat and skin and lax underlying muscles are tightened. We usually also include liposculpture as part of the procedure to further improve your shape. This often results in a flatter and firmer abdomen.

We cannot claim that the procedure will be perfect for everyone but for the great majority of women who are experiencing issues with their abdomen a tummy tuck may be the ideal solution.
