Answer 1

No it is not. In fact this is a popular misconception that people has. Tummy tuck is something on the likes of a last resort to your weight lose problems. In fact tummy tuck will not reduce your weight, it tightens your muscles and sagging skin. Another important fact is that you should not opt for a tummy tuck is you want to lose further weight. Because if you lose further weight the tightened skin will start sagging again and all your efforts will be in vain.

Answer 2

When patients lose weight as a result of healthy changes in diet and a regular exercise program, that weight loss is real. Fad diets and pills often yield impressive results, but are too often followed by a yo-yo weight fluctuation pattern.

Having said that, healthy active patients often reach a weight plateau. This plateau weight may or may not be the "goal weight". Goal weights can be demoralizing if they are not sustainable. We all have a weight we would like to be, but that weight may not be realistic. Better to be happy at a healthy, sustainable weight resulting from a good diet and exercise.

Answer 3

You may also opt for some cosmetic surgery like liposuction which will help you in reducing your unwanted fat very quickly.
