Pregnancy, genetics and major weight loss can wreak havoc on the abdomen, leaving excess skin, fat, stretch marks, loose muscle and baggy tissue. Although diet, exercise and time can help alleviate some of these symptoms, abdominoplasty is, by far, the fastest, most effective treatment.

Commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck,” we are able to remove that excess fat, repair damaged muscles and tighten the fascia of the abdominal wall to recreate that young, smoother body you desire.

The procedure

Depending on the patient’s needs, an abdominoplasty procedure can take one to five hours. We offer varying degrees of surgery, from a partial to extended tummy tuck, that almost always involves an incision just above the pubic area, the tightening and removal of skin and some liposuction.

The actual extent of the surgery is up to you, the patient, as we work to create a healthier, stronger-looking stomach.

The benefits

Complete abdominoplasty procedures tighten wrinkly, loose skin often related to multiple pregnancies, aging or weight loss. Fat tissue is removed and abdominal muscle separation is repaired in a way that, no matter how many sit-ups or crunches you do, would never happen naturally. The abdominal area is transformed into a more youthful, stronger-looking belly.

Patients not only feel more comfortable with their bodies, they feel healthier as well. People once ashamed to hit the beach or wear tight-fitting clothing, can again face the world with self-assured confidence.
