What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to slim and contour your stomach, typically after weight loss or pregnancy. A tummy tuck can enhance your body shape and restore your confidence in your appearance by offering the following benefits:
- A smoother, flatter stomach
- A more contoured waistline, free of pockets of excess fat
- Tighter ab muscles and improved core strength
Your tummy tuck procedure is tailored specifically to your needs and may be performed alone or combined with liposuction, high-definition body contouring, breast augmentation, or as part of a Mommy Makeover.
