Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a surgical procedure that removes the excess skin of the abdomen following weight loss or pregnancy. It also tightens the muscles of the abdomen to give you a flatter, firmer look. It is often combined with liposuction of the love handles and thighs and sometimes breast surgery.
You may be a candidate for a mini-tummy tuck that can be done in our office surgical facility under local anesthesia with sedation if all of your skin excess is below the belly button. The surgery is otherwise done in a hospital or surgicenter under general anesthesia.
