Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Sometimes exercise is not enough to tighten loose abdominal muscles, especially after pregnancy or massive weight loss. If the skin around your tummy is loose and sagging, then a tummy tuck may be the best way to achieve a flatter, tighter midsection.
Dr. Taki will evaluate your situation and help you determine whether or not a tummy tuck is your best option. Liposuction may be recommended as a complimentary procedure to enhance the results of a tummy tuck. The goal is to have a smooth, flat tummy that blends with the rest of the body.
There are two types of tummy tucks, and Dr. Taki will explain each procedure and help you determine the surgery that is right for you:
- Standard Abdominoplasty - tightens all of the abdominal wall skin (standard scar)
- Mini Abdominoplasty - tightens the lower abdominal wall skin only (shortest scar)
Additional procedures that may enhance the result of a tummy tuck are Liposuction , Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift , or Body Contouring.
