Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck (also called abdominoplasty) is a very popular cosmetic surgery procedure. Both men and women are finding that tummy tuck can be an effective tool for shaping and sculpting the body for better body appearance and improved self esteem.

Sometimes no amount of diet and exercise can create a flat tummy. Tummy tuck plastic surgery actually tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess fat and skin from the stomach area to create a tighter, slimmer, smoother belly. If, like many other Northern California patients, you are interested in an overall body rejuvenation, tummy tuck can be combined with other procedures such as liposuction or breast implants for a sexier look.

Patients choose abdominoplasty for a number of reasons, including:

• Excess abdominal skin following weight loss
• Abdominal fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
• Stretched stomach muscles from pregnancy
• Desire for a thinner profile
• Desire to look younger and fitter
• Desire to fit into clothes better
