Most men and women desire a flat, toned tummy. Unfortunately, this physical trait can be hard to come by, especially for women who have experienced the effects that pregnancy can leave on their midsections. If you have been struggling with sculpting your abdomen, despite healthy eating habits and regular exercise, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure might be the answer.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini-abdominoplasty is performed only on the lower abdomen, below the navel. Even though it is sometimes called a “scar-less” tummy tuck, it is still necessary to make a small incision to remove excess skin and fat deposits. There is generally no need for belly button repositioning with this procedure. Candidates for this procedure are those who have a slight abdominal pooch.

Full Tummy Tuck

The more common full abdominoplasty procedure helps to remove excess fat and skin throughout the entire abdominal wall. The abdominal muscles are also tightened as a result, creating a firmer, more desirable profile. Liposuction is often combined with abdominoplasty to ultimately create the desired body shape.

When performed by a skilled, knowledgeable surgeon like Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bottger, tummy tucks are a safe, effective way to enhance your body. To arrange a tummy tuck consultation, please contact our office today.
