Abdominoplasty

Restore a Firmer, Flatter Abdominal Contour

Abdominoplasty is a body contouring surgery designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening weakened muscles, helping you achieve a smoother, more toned abdomen.

What Is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This surgery is especially beneficial for patients after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, when the abdominal skin loses elasticity and muscles cannot be restored through exercise alone.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

Have loose or sagging abdominal skin
Have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
Experience muscle separation after pregnancy
Have lost a significant amount of weight
Are a non-smoker in good overall health
Have realistic expectations and a stable weight

A surgical consultation is required to determine the most appropriate approach.
