Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Carmel, IN | Bruce W. Van Natta, MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address challenging body contour issues. Many individuals struggle with excess abdominal skin and weakened muscles that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone. The procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening underlying abdominal muscles to create a smoother, more refined silhouette.

Who Benefits from a Tummy Tuck?

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty typically include individuals who have experienced:

• Significant weight fluctuations
• Pregnancy-related body changes
• Genetic predisposition to abdominal fat accumulation
• Loss of skin elasticity due to aging
