This procedure is especially helpful for patients who have experienced:
- Pregnancy
- Significant weight loss
- Loose or stretched abdominal skin
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed and the underlying abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened. This helps restore a smoother contour to the midsection while improving core support.
Many patients find that clothing fits more comfortably and their abdomen feels stronger and more toned after recovery.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. Instead, it is intended for patients who are near their goal weight but want to address loose skin or muscle separation that cannot improve through exercise alone.
