Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and tissue from the abdomen while tightening underlying abdominal muscles. This transformative procedure helps patients achieve a flatter, more contoured stomach profile.

Why Choose a Tummy Tuck?

Patients may consider a tummy tuck for various reasons, including:

• Significant weight loss
• Post-pregnancy body restoration
• Age-related skin laxity
• Genetic predisposition to abdominal tissue accumulation

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Optimal candidates for a tummy tuck are individuals who:

• Are within 30 pounds of their ideal body weight
• Maintain a stable, healthy lifestyle
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Do not smoke
