What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess or loose skin as well as creates a nice belly button, narrower waist, and improved body posture.
The procedure also brings significant weight loss, most of the time, due to the muscles tightening that reduces the amount of food that you can eat and sense of hunger.
It is well-suited to patients seeking a flatter stomach and firmer abdomen following pregnancy or significant weight loss. Others may elect to undergo the procedure to address poor tone and definition related to aging and genetics.

When performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, a tummy tuck offers a number of unique benefits.

In addition, abdominoplasty improves the appearance of stretch marks and creates a more balanced and proportionate figure.
Best of all, many patients experience a significant boost in self-confidence and feel more motivated than ever to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
