Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Sculpt your waistline & smooth your stomach

When a proper diet and exercise fail to remove that stubborn stomach fat, tummy tuck surgery is an effective way to achieve a smooth and contoured waistline.

Experience a renewed sense of confidence

Are you ecstatic about your hard-earned weight loss only to find extra skin hanging around? Do you have excess skin around your abdomen after giving childbirth? Do you want to look better in your clothes and at the beach?

The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, operation involves removing excess skin and fat around the waist leaving a well-placed incision low on the abdomen. Abdominoplasty, however, is not a substitute for weight loss. As the excess skin is pulled and removed altogether, a flatter abdomen will remain. Additional tightening of the abdominal muscles can provide even more dramatic contour improvement with abdominoplasty surgery, and liposuction can be added for a more sculpted look.

Tummy Tuck FAQs

Will I lose weight from my tummy tuck surgery?

The primary cosmetic benefit of a tummy tuck is the improved shape and contour of the abdomen, not weight loss. However, some patients do lose weight, and the total weight loss will depend on the amount of skin and fat removed.

How long do tummy tuck results last?

Your results can last as long as you maintain your current weight.

Is a tummy tuck included in a mommy makeover?

A tummy tuck and a breast lift or augmentation is what makes up a mommy makeover. We can also discuss this during your consultation if you are considering either implants or a breast lift.
