A tummy tuck differs from liposuction as it incorporates the tightening of stomach muscles as well as the removal of excess fat.

The procedure involves one incision across the lower abdomen and another around the tummy button. The muscles are pulled tighter and stitched in place. Excess fat and skin are then removed and a new tummy button is created.
