Get a Flatter, Sleeker Stomach
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to flatten and rejuvenate the stomach. Despite our best efforts, diet and exercise aren’t enough to address stubborn fat, stretched skin, and separated abdominal muscles. The tummy tuck can accomplish these goals and more with the help of an experienced cosmetic surgeon.

Am I A Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
The tummy tuck is a popular option with patients who have undergone pregnancy or significant weight loss. These things can stretch the tissues of the stomach and require surgical repair for best results. You should be in good health and have a stable weight to be considered a good candidate. Our team will review your health history and goals during a consultation to determine if the tummy tuck is right for you.
Benefits of the Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck offers many benefits, including:
- Flatter, trimmer stomach
- Stronger core muscles
- Reduced pockets of fat
- Better clothing fit
- Enhanced confidence
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
The tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia. Our team will create an incision across the lower stomach near the pelvic bones. The tissues will be lifted, and excess fat will be removed. Sutures will also strengthen the abdominal muscles. Finally, the stretched skin will be removed, and the incision will be closed. After a brief monitoring period, you can return home.
