Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty

Also known as Abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in some cases restores weakened or separated abdominal muscles.  This creates a lower body profile that is smoother and firmer, often enhancing body image and confidence.  Changes to the abdomen caused by excessive weight gain, weight loss, or more commonly pregnancy are dramatically improved through this procedure, giving the patient a more graceful line.

When I meet one on one with patients who are considering a tummy tuck, I feel it is equally important that you not only get a clear understanding of what this surgical procedure will involved and the dramatic results that can be achieved, but that you also understand an abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight loss.  Maintaing the firmer, flatter figure you will achieve through this surgery may require an overall lifestyle change as well.  Certainly if a woman is considering future pregnancies it would be advised to postpone this surgery altogether.  Everyone has their own reasons why a tummy tuck is considered and together you and I will determine if this surgery is right for you at this time.
