A "Tummy Tuck" or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that flattens a protruding abdomen by tightening the underlying muscles and removing extra skin and fat in the abdominal area. Although weight loss can reduce the amount of fat located in the abdominal area, certain factors, such as weak abdominal muscles, pregnancy or excess skin resulting from weight loss can cause protrusion that can be corrected only through surgery.

Despite their best efforts to eat right and exercise, many men and women continue to have stubborn areas of fat deposits around their upper and lower abdomen, hips, and thighs. Liposuction is excellent for removal of localized fatty deposits. Liposuction does have its limitations, however. It's designed for body contouring and is not meant to be a treatment for obesity. During liposuction, Dr. Schantz makes small, inconspicuous incisions in which he inserts a small metal tube to extract excess fat. When performed correctly, scars are almost undetectable and are generally hidden in the edge of the pubic area or in the belly button. Because of its safety and effectiveness, liposuction has become the most common cosmetic procedure performed by plastic surgeons today.
