Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to smooth, flatten, and firm the abdominal area. Aging, weight changes, and pregnancy can leave the abdomen with loose skin, stubborn fat pockets, and weakened muscles that persist even at an ideal weight.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Procedure

Nashville Plastic Surgery's tummy tuck surgery offers comprehensive abdominal transformation by:

• Tightening loose abdominal skin
• Removing excess fat deposits

• Are unhappy with abdominal appearance
• Maintain generally good health
• Are at a stable, healthy weight
• Do not smoke or are willing to quit before and after surgery

• Make an incision across the lower abdomen
• Reconnect separated abdominal muscles
