Tummy Tuck

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as “abdominoplasty,” is a procedure designed to noticeably improve the appearance of the stomach by tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin and fatty tissue. Women and men of all ages typically desire this cosmetic procedure when diet and exercise fail to provide them with satisfactory results.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT TUMMY TUCK

Full Tummy Tuck

Removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal wall. After the remaining skin is redraped, the navel may also be repositioned.

Partial Tummy Tuck

This is often referred to as a “mini tummy tuck” because it focuses on removing just the excess skin and fat below the navel.
