What is a tummy tuck?

First of all, get a picture of an incision from hip bone to pubic hairline to hip bone and a big happy face is what you'll wind up with. It's a bikini line cut, so you can actually wear a bikini bathing suit and not see the incision on the edges. You are going to have to have maybe a couple of inches of width on your bathing suit, but you can actually wear a bikini after you've had a tummy tuck. I know this because I've had a tummy tuck, and my bathing suit covers up my incision area. That's the first thing women want to know: is this incision area going to show? You've got this big long incision area because they have to remove a lot of loose skin. After women have babies there is no way to get rid of the loose skin; even liposuction won't help. Liposuction only makes more loose skin. They have to have the skin removed surgically. Then you've got secondary issue. You've got to lose a muscle inside. Your abdominal muscle runs from under your breast down to your pubic hairline. You've seen the movie "Gone with the Wind" where the ladies' had to hold on to the bedpost and the maid would tighten their corset, right? Your abdominal muscle is just like that, after the doctor is through. He has tightened that corset inside and he can give you a much thinner waist line just as if you were wearing an outer garment; you've got your inner garment which is your abdominal muscle. Once that is tightened, it tightens all of that tissue and muscles around. I had my inferior muscles tightened and all that loose skin removed because I am five feet tall and I only weigh 107 lbs. I'm very trim and that's thanks to a tummy tuck that got rid of my pudgy tummy.
