Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the mid-section. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to an undesirable mid-section from pregnancy to fluctuations in weight to genetics and aging. The tummy tuck is performed to remove excess, sagging skin and tighten stretched-out abdominal muscles. The procedure is performed through an incision that runs along the lower abdomen between the hip bones.
In some cases liposuction may be performed in combination with the tummy tuck to remove stubborn fat. If you are interested in learning more about the tummy tuck procedure and recovery process, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.
