Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Columbus, OH

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess lower abdominal tissue and provide a more tapered waistline. Dr. Michael DePerro performs this procedure to address issues that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as post-pregnancy changes or loose skin after significant weight loss.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

• Restores abdominal muscles to their original position
• Corrects small hernias
• Increases abdominal wall tone
• Improves posture
• Enhances self-confidence

Ideal Candidates

The best candidates for a tummy tuck are healthy individuals at a stable weight who have excess abdominal tissue or skin laxity resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should be non-smokers with realistic expectations.

Tummy Tuck Procedure

Dr. DePerro performs the tummy tuck by making a low incision, similar to a C-section scar. The procedure involves repairing abdominal muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning the belly button. The incision is typically placed low enough to be concealed by most underwear and swimwear.
