What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the stomach area by removing excess skin and fat. This transformative surgery is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced considerable weight loss, pregnancy, or the effects of aging, addressing issues such as sagging skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat deposits. The abdominal region is skillfully contoured through a carefully planned incision to create a smoother, firmer, and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedure aims to enhance physical appearance, boost confidence, and restore a sense of abdominal harmony.

The surgery, typically performed under general anesthesia, involves making incisions to access and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. Next, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more toned appearance. The length of this process varies based on the extent of correction needed but generally lasts a few hours. Dr. Baumholtz's expertise ensures a personalized approach, and your comfort and safety are prioritized throughout the process.
