Tummy Tuck

For patients who have an excess of abdominal skin and loose abdominal muscles, correction is obtained by abdominoplasty. Individual differences in skin elasticity and muscle tone are important factors in determining if you will benefit from this type of surgery.

In this surgery, an incision is made in the abdomen extending above the pubic area from one hip to the other. Often an underlying muscular defect is present which can be repaired at the same time. This procedure then involves the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue and redraping of the skin is needed to achieve the optimal appearance.
