A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, the surgery removes sagging skin and repairs your abdominal muscles to give you a more toned, sculpted, and stronger abdominal profile. If you are worried about the appearance of unwanted fat that you cannot lose through diet or exercise, you can consider getting liposuction with your tummy tuck to remove stubborn pockets of fat.
After a detailed consultation, Dr. Armijo can understand your aesthetic and functional goals with your tummy tuck and devise a plan to address all your concerns. This also involves suggesting procedures such as liposuction if they remain suitable for you.
