When abdominal liposculpture will not produce the shape you desire, a tummy tuck may be the procedure needed to reduce that unwanted belly. We can remove excess fat and skin, and move underlying abdominal muscles back to the middle. We’ll tighten up loose hanging skin and bring back your figure.

Generally, a horizontal incision is placed just within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision, which extends laterally toward the pelvic bones, depends largely on the amount of skin to be removed. The contour of this incision will vary somewhat according to the structure of your abdomen and the style of bathing suit or undergarments that you prefer.

It’s important to know that abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight loss. The objective of the surgery is to improve the contour of the body by flattening and narrowing the abdomen. The best candidate for the surgery is the individual who is of normal weight but who has weak abdominal muscles and excess skin and fat. Age, obesity and smoking habits are some of the factors the physician considers when evaluating a candidate for this procedure.
