Tummy tuck is a surgical surgery also known as, Abdominoplasty or Panniculectomy is a surgical procedure that includes the removal of excess skin and fat from the waist, which cannot be shifted by diet and exercise alone. This type of surgery is mainly meant for people who suffer with loose tissues after pregnancy or individuals with sagging after major weight loss. Skin that contains stretch marks on the lower abdomen may be removed as well. Many people had a wrong concept that Tummy tuck surgery is only meant as a method for weight loss and it is not recommended for extremely overweight individuals.
Before you go for the tummy tuck surgery, it is very important to know some facts about it. Thus help in reducing the risks during surgery since a tummy tuck surgery is done under general anesthesia:

2. To get fast recovery and avoid risks of complications, it is recommended to quit smoking at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. As Smoking prolongs recovery and increases the risks of complications.
3. When tummy tuck is combined with liposuction, it might bring out desired results but before going for it, it is better to consult Your plastic surgeon that whether combining liposuction with tummy tuck is right for your needs or not.
