130,000 people a year have tummy tucks in the USA.  The procedure returns tummies to the pre-pregnancy appearance.  The rectus muscles are brought together, strengthening them.  Excess skin and fat are removed, improving both the appearance and function of the belly.  Tummy tucks are now performed as outpatient procedures and are often combined with liposuction of the flanks.  On tonight's show, we discussed the procedure and the risks and benefits of tummy tucks.
