What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (also called an abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery designed to flatten and tone the abdominal area and strengthen the abdominal muscles. During the procedure, loose skin and excess fat are removed, separated muscles are brought back together, and the remaining skin is repositioned.
This plastic surgery procedure is often done after childbirth or significant weight loss to help patients get back their flatter and firmer stomach. We offer both traditional tummy tucks and mini tummy tucks. The tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction for a full abdomen rejuvenation.
