A tummy tuck (abdominoplasy) can be a helpful procedure for people who have excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles due to aging, pregnancy or obesity. After the surgery you will have a trimmer waist and flatter abdomen.

Women should seek this procedure only after they've finished having children. If you are planning to lose a considerable amount of weight, it would be best to wait until your weight has stabilized.

The typical tummy tuck involves a combination of liposuction and surgery to remove excess skin and fat.

Scarring can be extensive, depending upon the amount of tissue to be removed. However, in many cases the scars can be covered by a standard bikini.

Whether or not a tummy tuck is the right procedure for you begins with a consultation with Dr. Thompson. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
