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 offers this procedure to address issues that are often resistant to diet and exercise, such as loose skin after pregnancy or 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 for Tummy Tuck

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 tummy tucks by making a low incision similar to a C-section. The procedure involves repairing abdominal muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning the belly button. The resulting scar is typically low enough to be hidden by most underwear and even some bikinis.
