What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery/ abdominoplasty is performed to flatten your abdomen by removing extra fat deposits and skin from the abdomen and restoring weakened muscles to create a smoother, firmer abdomen profile. Tummy tuck significantly improves your abdomen’s contour, size, appearance, and profile by eliminating unwanted fat pockets and excess skin. Still, it is not an alternative for weight loss. However, it is better to talk to Dr. Karishma Kagodu if you are concerned about the body contouring goal. To meet the desired body contouring goal, she may suggest a combined body contouring surgery, such as liposuction with a tummy tuck.
