Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – Restore a Flat, Firm Abdomen

Struggling with loose skin, separated abdominal muscles, or a stubborn belly bulge that won't go away no matter how much you diet or exercise?
A Tummy Tuck – medically known as Abdominoplasty – is a safe and effective surgical solution to restore core strength, confidence, and contour.

What Is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that:

Removes excess, sagging abdominal skin
Repairs stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Eliminates stubborn fat pockets in the lower belly
Improves the overall firmness and shape of the midsection
Can remove some stretch marks (especially below the belly button)

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

✔ Full Tummy Tuck: Ideal for patients with significant excess skin and muscle separation
✔ Mini Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the lower abdomen only
✔ Extended Tummy Tuck: Includes the flanks/love handles
✔ Lipoabdominoplasty: Combines tummy tuck with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Your surgeon will determine the best option based on your body and goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You might benefit from a tummy tuck if:

- You have loose skin from pregnancy or weight loss
- Your abdominal muscles are weak or separated
- You’re near your ideal body weight
- You’re in good health and not planning future pregnancies
- You want long-lasting results that diet/exercise can’t achieve alone
