As we journey through life, our bodies inevitably bear the marks of our experiences, and one of the most prominent areas where this transformation becomes apparent is the abdomen. The abdomen is not only a core part of our physique but also significantly impacts our overall body contour and confidence. Over time, the effects of aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and genetics can cause the skin and muscles in our abdominal area to sag, accumulate excess fat, or lose their firmness. This is where a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, a surgical procedure performed by skilled board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Philip Wey and Dr. Naveen Ahuja, can work wonders in rejuvenating your appearance and helping you achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance abdominal contours by removing excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. It’s an effective solution for individuals seeking to achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen.
Who is a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are those who:
- Are in good overall health.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
- Have a stable body weight.
- Are bothered by excess skin and fat in the abdominal area.
- Understand the surgical risks and recovery process.
The Tummy Tuck Journey
Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our experienced plastic surgeons, Dr. Philip Wey or Dr. Naveen Ahuja. During this meeting, your concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes will be discussed, and a thorough evaluation of your abdomen will be conducted.
Customized Treatment Plan
