Surgery of the Abdomen

If you are considering a "tummy tuck", technically known as abdominoplasty, the Center for Plastic Surgery can answer many questions. Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can result in a very significant improvement in waist contour. This procedure does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problems, can extend from hip to hip.

If you are considering abdominoplasty, the Center for Plastic Surgery can give you a more in-depth understanding of the procedure such as:

• When it can help?
• How it's performed
• What results can you expect.
• Planning your surgery.
• Preparing for your surgery.

• Personalized follow-up on each case.
