Tummy Tuck Surgery in NY

Understanding Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles to create a firmer, more sculpted midsection.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who struggle with loose abdominal skin and weakened abdominal muscles due to:

Pregnancy
Significant weight loss
Aging and loss of skin elasticity

Who is a candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Individuals with loose, excess abdominal skin
Those with separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Patients at or near their ideal body weight
Non-smokers in good overall health
Women who have completed their families (as future pregnancies may reverse results)

A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure but can significantly enhance body contours when diet and exercise alone cannot restore a flat, toned abdomen.

Tummy Tucks Types:

Full Tummy Tuck

Involves a horizontal incision above the pubic region, concealed by bikini bottoms
Removes excess skin and fat
Tightens abdominal muscles for a firm, sculpted midsection
Requires an incision around the belly button to maintain natural positioning

Mini Tummy Tuck

Ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity below the navel
Involves a shorter incision (similar to a C-section scar)

Less invasive with a shorter recovery time

Liposuction may be combined with either procedure to enhance contours and smooth transitions between the waist and hips.
