- Removes excess abdominal skin and fat
- Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Repositions the belly button for natural appearance

Surgical Procedure
The tummy tuck is performed as an outpatient procedure, typically taking between 1-3 hours depending on the patient's specific needs. The surgery may include additional liposuction to enhance overall body contouring results.
