The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is needed on individuals who have excess tissue intheir tummy area. The tummy tuck includes liposuction but it also tightens the tummy muscles which have often split apart as a result of childbearing. The tummy tuck ties the weakened abdominal muscles together to help create that smaller, tighter tummy. The incision that our doctors make is a very low incision on the abdomen and curves down to just above the pubic area. This incision placement creates an easily hidden scar even in a low bikini. Many other surgeons make their incisions much higher resulting in a scar that is harder to hide under clothing. The incision placement also allows our surgeons to perform liposuction higher on the abdomen and flanks to get to those problem areas. After a tummy tuck, you are more comfortable, feel sleeker and more confident.
