What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection. This transformative procedure addresses skin laxity, repairs stretched abdominal muscles, and helps patients achieve a more contoured body profile.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Dr. Schusterman offers multiple tummy tuck options tailored to patient needs:

• Mini Tummy Tuck:

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Suitable candidates for a tummy tuck typically include individuals who:

• Are in overall good health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy body changes
• Possess excess fat and sagging skin around the abdomen

Procedure Details and Recovery
