One of the most problematic areas for people to feel confident about is their stomach. No matter how much you work out or eat healthy, it can be difficult to achieve the flat stomach of your dreams. That’s where tummy tucks come in. These procedures, also known as abdominoplasty, can remove excess skin and fat from your stomach to create a smooth and flat ab area that is sure to be stunning.
Tummy tucks are a major surgery, so it’s important to know what it entails and if it suits your specific situation. Learn more about the procedure below.
Is a Tummy Tuck Right for Me?
Men and women who are in good health and are looking to flatten their bellies are prime candidates for this procedure. If you are a woman who has had children, the procedure can also be helpful, removing excess skin and tightening loosened muscles in the area. It is not an alternative to weight loss, as underlying fat will be an issue. We can combine liposuction with the tummy tuck surgery to enhance results, but only so much can be done at a time.
Types of Abdominoplasty
We can perform a complete or partial tummy tuck surgery based on your needs. Complete abdominoplasties are more serious, as we need to cut from hipbone to hipbone to properly contour all the skin, tissue and muscles in the area. Partial tucks can be done for people with more fat below the bellybutton that can be addressed without such major incisions.
