Why are people getting tummy tuck surgery?
Many women decide to have a tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, after having lost weight or having had children, or just because aging has left them with a sagging abdomen or a belly that protrudes. Many men decide to have a tummy tuck if they feel that their "love handles" have gotten out of hand and they want a flatter, more taut stomach.

A tummy tuck is a common surgical procedure, but it is serious, and you should be aware of all the risks involved before having one. If your belly protrudes a bit, you may not need a tummy tuck. Perhaps abdominal liposuction is all you need, or maybe you can benefit from what is called a mini tummy tuck. There are several surgical techniques for abdominoplasty. A tummy tuck is not a one-size-fits-all type of operation.
