Tummy tuck surgery is designed to remove bulky and sagging skin from the midsection of the body. In some instances, a tummy tuck may be used to reattach abdominal muscles that have separated due to pregnancy or weight gain. The procedure may also be useful in the reduction of stretch marks.

Adding liposuction to tummy tuck helps produce optimal results and is almost always recommended by our board-certified plastic surgeon. Other body and breast treatments, such as fat grafting, augmentation, and additional lift procedures, are recommended when they would be useful in helping you reach your goals.
