Tummy Tuck Orland Park, IL | David Dreyfuss, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

Many individuals throughout Chicagoland seek to eliminate stubborn abdominal fat that compromises their goals of achieving a slim, athletic figure. An excessive belly bulge can result from pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, or genetics.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a popular body contouring procedure that dramatically reshapes the torso and delivers a taut, thin tummy associated with a youthful body.

Tummy Tuck Techniques

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Dreyfuss performs multiple tummy tuck techniques, including:

• Full abdominoplasty
• Mini abdominoplasty
• Tummy tuck with or without liposuction
