The process is performed majorly by plastic surgeons and is viewed as a \\u201ccosmetic\\u201d fix.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As a tool, a tummy tuck can be used to boost your body image. During the process of a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, while a fascia or connective tissue in the stomach is tightened using sutures. The skin that is left is then transposed to create a firmer look.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">Tummy tuck isn\\u2019t for everyone.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

In the case of pregnancy or significant weight loss, having the surgery can stretch out the skin around your stomach. A tummy tuck can be very useful in restoring the look of a flat and contoured midsection. <\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">An abdominoplasty might also involve bringing the rectus abdominus, or sit-up muscles, back together mostly if they\\u2019ve been stretched or separated by pregnancy.

The process is performed majorly by plastic surgeons and is viewed as a \\u201ccosmetic\\u201d fix.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As a tool, a tummy tuck can be used to boost your body image. During the process of a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, while a fascia or connective tissue in the stomach is tightened using sutures. The skin that is left is then transposed to create a firmer look.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">Tummy tuck isn\\u2019t for everyone.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

In the case of pregnancy or significant weight loss, having the surgery can stretch out the skin around your stomach. A tummy tuck can be very useful in restoring the look of a flat and contoured midsection. <\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">An abdominoplasty might also involve bringing the rectus abdominus, or sit-up muscles, back together mostly if they\\u2019ve been stretched or separated by pregnancy.

The process is performed majorly by plastic surgeons and is viewed as a \\u201ccosmetic\\u201d fix.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As a tool, a tummy tuck can be used to boost your body image. During the process of a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, while a fascia or connective tissue in the stomach is tightened using sutures. The skin that is left is then transposed to create a firmer look.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">Tummy tuck isn\\u2019t for everyone.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

In the case of pregnancy or significant weight loss, having the surgery can stretch out the skin around your stomach. A tummy tuck can be very useful in restoring the look of a flat and contoured midsection. <\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">An abdominoplasty might also involve bringing the rectus abdominus, or sit-up muscles, back together mostly if they\\u2019ve been stretched or separated by pregnancy.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.

That said, a tummy tuck can\\u2019t be used to correct stretch marks outside of this area.<\\/span><\\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">In addition, if you\'ve previously undergone a C-section, a certified, skilled or experienced plastic surgeon might be able to hide any existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar. <\\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\\"true\\">As stated earlier - tummy tuck isn\'t for \\u2018every Tom, Dick and harry\\u2019.
