Flatter, firmer, more you. Remove excess skin and tighten muscles for a sculpted waist and midsection.

DESCRIPTION

A Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs abdominal muscles separated by pregnancy (diastasis recti). It is especially effective after childbirth or major weight loss, when exercise alone can’t restore a flat, firm stomach.

The incision is placed low, below the bikini line, so it can be hidden by underwear or swimwear. It is often combined with liposuction or breast surgery as part of a Mommy Makeover, restoring your pre-pregnancy shape in a single recovery.

KEY BENEFITS

•    Removes excess skin and fat
