The lipectomy or tummy tuck removes loose skin, fat deposits and stretch marks from the abdominal region that are caused by factors such as multiple pregnancies, loose skin, substantial weight loss, etc.
This procedure should not be viewed as a treatment for obesity or as an excuse to stop eating or exercising. Candidates for a tummy tuck should be healthy and in relatively good physical condition. Future pregnancies and substantial weight changes after this intervention is performed can decrease the effectiveness and results.
