Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Clearwater, FL

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area. The remaining skin and connective tissue (fascia) are then tightened with sutures for a firmer, more toned, and natural-looking appearance. This procedure is popular for people who have experienced significant weight loss, have excess skin, or have been pregnant.

Suitable candidates for a tummy tuck are:

• In overall good physical and mental health
• Have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes
• Have loose, hanging skin in the abdominal area due to pregnancy or weight loss
• Within 15 pounds of their ideal weight
