Pregnancies or significant weight loss can cause the abdominal wall to sag. If exercise and a change in diet are unsuccessful, a surgical tummy tuck may help.

Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, twilight sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the extent. It is most often performed on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. While small areas can be treated on an outpatient basis, for more extensive procedures, an overnight stay at a clinic for observation is recommended.

Excessive sweating can be very unpleasant, especially in summer. Treatment options include Botox injections or suction (curettage) of the sweat glands under local or twilight anesthesia.
