This cosmetic procedure removes excess skin, stretch marks and fat from the abdomen, and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure typically results in a flatter, tighter abdominal profile. A tummy tuck is best suited for men and women who are in relatively good shape, but have loose abdominal skin and/or significant amount of abdominal fat that won’t respond to dieting or exercise.

You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you have one or more of the following conditions:

• Excess or loose, sagging abdominal skin
• An abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion with the rest of your body
• Abdominal muscles that have been weakened by pregnancy, aging or severe weight loss
• Excess fat that is concentrated beneath the abdominal skin
• Previous surgeries that may have severed the abdominal muscles

New anesthetic methods are available for this procedure that are virtually pain-free. Once healed, your tummy will be flat and tight, with a noticeable difference in the shape of your body. Many of Dr. Voloshin’s patients find that their firmer, flatter abdomen enhances their confidence. Abdominoplasty produces long-lasting results and restores a more youthful abdominal contour.
