The options for treatment of the abdominal area depend on what problems are present. If there is just some fatty tissue prominence, liposuction may be a solution. If there is excess skin and stretch marks are present, a surgical procedure such as a "mini"-or full tummy tuck may be required. With the surgery, there will of course be a scar ,but it is usually confined to the bikini area with the mini and takes the form of a scar around the navel with the full procedure.
