Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. The best candidates for the tummy tuck are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise. In addition, women who have experienced abdominal stretching due to pregnancy or aging also respond well to the abdominoplasty procedure.

The tummy tuck is performed under monitored anesthesia in our operating suite. Generally, a horizontal incision is made just within or above the pubic area. Through this incision, Dr. Aziz removes excess fat and tightens the underlying muscles. The length of the incision depends largely on the amount of tissue to be removed.
