Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Miami, Florida

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdominal region. The treatment tones and tightens muscles and removes excess skin in the upper and lower abdomen, creating a more attractive and contoured silhouette.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include:

• Individuals with stubborn abdominal fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Women who have experienced post-pregnancy abdominal changes
• Patients with significant skin laxity in the midsection
• Individuals in good overall health

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Enhanced muscle tone
• Improved body contour
• Increased self-confidence

Surgical Procedure

The tummy tuck procedure involves carefully placed incisions, muscle repair, excess skin and fat removal, and strategic repositioning to create a flatter, more toned abdomen. Typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation, the surgery takes approximately two to three hours.

• Take prescribed pain medication
