Tummy Tuck Charlotte

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that is designed to safely remove excess fat and skin from the central and lower abdomen, while restoring weakened or separated muscles. This creates a desirable abdominal profile that is smoother, flatter, and firmer.

Patients who benefit the most from an abdominoplasty procedure are those who are in good physical shape, but find that their abdomen possesses excess skin and fat. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes for this include pregnancy, aging, weight changes, heredity, and sometimes prior surgery. In many cases, the abdomen has been stretched to a point where dieting and exercise have no effect on changing its appearance. A tummy tuck is the procedure that offers a solution and allows an individual to achieve the flat abdomen they desire. In certain patients, mini tummy tuck procedure can help those who are dissatisfied with their abdominal appearance below the navel. Liposuction is routinely performed during the abdominoplasty procedure to refine the contour of the lower abdomen and trunk.
