The Tummy Tuck procedure is ideal for men and women with excess skin hanging off the mid-section. It is common for women who have had multiple pregnancies to be left with excess skin around the abdomen. Often women who have been pregnant also find their abdominal muscles are distended and stretched out. Through Tummy Tuck surgery the excess skin is removed and the abdominal muscles tightened. The Tummy Tuck surgery, also known as Abdominoplasty, is performed through an incision that runs horizontally from hip to hip. There will be a permanent scar left from this incision, though it is easily hidden with underwear and swimwear.
Some patients opt to include Liposuction with their Tummy Tuck procedure to remove excess fat from the abdominal area. If you are interested in a Tummy Tuck procedure and would like to learn more about it and find out if you may be a good candidate, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Lynn Chung today.
