What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?
A tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty surgery) is a surgical procedure that is designed to flatten and tone the stomach. During the procedure, Dr. Young will remove excess skin and fat and tighten and strengthen any separated or weakened abdominal muscles. But beyond what is usually done during a tummy tuck, Dr. Young also includes extensive muscle repositioning and liposuction in several areas to help you achieve an hourglass figure and personalized results.
The tummy tuck process can take anywhere from 2-5 hours, depending on how complex the procedure is and the results you’re looking for.
At Advanced Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa, we offer both a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck.
