If you have excess fat and skin surrounding your abdominal area that stubbornly remains despite diet and exercise, a tummy tuck can offer considerable help. A useful procedure for those who have experienced weight loss or childbirth, a tummy tuck trims fat and skin from around your stomach, resulting in a youthful look. A tummy tuck can also repair stretched or weakened abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck
(or abdominoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat to create a toned appearance. Patients who undergo the procedure report a better sense of well-being, as well as a more comfortable fit in clothing. This increase in self-confidence often inspires patients to pursue a more active lifestyle. Serving the Nashville and Franklin areas, Mayo-Clinic trained, board-certified Nashville plastic surgeon Chad Robbins, M.D., F.A.C.S., will consult with you to in order to determine your
needs, as a full tummy tuck can address issues in the upper and lower abdomen. Stomach muscles will be tightened, and liposuction of excess fat will give your mid-section a flatter appearance.

The abdominal muscles are tightened to narrow your waist and often liposuction is done on the flank and hip areas to trim your body further.
What does lipo on flanks do?Flank liposuction is a routine, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that removes fat around the sides and back of the waistline while leaving few scars on the patient's body.

What are flanks in a tummy tuck?The flank area usually refers to the sides of abdomen, but not the back. In order to properly perform liposuction along the lower back, the patient needs to be flipped over during surgery (tummy tucks and flank liposuction are typically done with the patient lying on their back the whole time).
