One of the areas that people are most sensitive about when it comes to weight is the tummy. In today’s society, there are images everywhere of people, particularly women, with perfect, flat tummies.

About Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck could be the right abdomen-slimming cosmetic procedure for you if you are looking for a major change. While CoolSculpting® is ideal for small pockets of fat, a tummy tuck will produce more intense results. If you have more than a little bit of fat that you would like reduced a tummy tuck may be a better option.

Tummy tucks are optimal for those with an excess of saggy skin, which usually occurs after pregnancy or a large amount of weight loss. Tummy tucks surgeries take between two and five hours under anesthesia, and require a two week resting period after.
