Dieting and weight loss surgery are effective ways to lose weight; however, people who lose considerable amounts of weight through these methods are often left with loose, sagging skin over different areas of their bodies. One of the cosmetic surgery procedures designed to correct this problem is abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. When a patient with loose, excess abdominal skin comes to Southern Plastic Surgery near Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. David Whiteman carefully evaluates the amount of skin laxity to help determine the appropriate treatment option. For patients with a small amount of excess skin, a mini tummy tuck may be sufficient to produce a firmer, flatter midsection. For individuals with more extensive skin laxity, a full tummy tuck may be a more effective treatment option.
