Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Newtown, PA | Dr. Lana Feldman

Understanding Abdominoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

For many individuals, a protruding abdomen or excess abdominal fat can be a source of significant insecurity. When diet and exercise fail to produce desired results, abdominoplasty offers a surgical solution for body contouring and muscle restoration.

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the abdominal area. During this comprehensive treatment, surgeons accomplish multiple objectives:

• Remove excess fat and skin
• Tighten abdominal connective tissue
• Reconnect and restore weakened abdominal muscles
• Reposition remaining skin for a more toned appearance
