If exercise is on your to-do list, that's always good. Unfortunately, there are parts of the body that simply don't respond to your efforts. Many women and men struggle with stubborn belly fat. Significant weight loss or pregnancy can also cause the skin to sag significantly and, in more serious cases, hang down. No amount of exercise can do anything. A possible alternative is a surgical tummy tuck.

For your tummy tuck, the operating doctor will select a surgical method that is suitable for your body and individual case. There are various types of abdominoplasty, from a mini-abdominoplasty with limited excision to a full abdominoplasty with strengthening of the abdominal wall and repositioning of the umbilicus. In some cases the incision can go around the back, extending the surgery to a full lower body lift. The length of the incision of an abdominoplasty depends on the severity of skin and fat excess.

Swelling and ecchymosis or bruising often occur after the tummy tuck. This is normal and these after-effects will subside after a few weeks. Loss of sensation, circulatory problems at the navel, skin irregularities and fatty tissue necrosis are potential complications that require follow-up treatment, which you would also have to pay for yourself.
