A tummy tuck is a powerful procedure designed to smooth and flatten the abdomen by comprehensively treating the abdominal skin, fat, and musculature. Over time, it’s not uncommon for individuals to develop a drooping or hanging abdomen due to increased tissue laxity.
This loss in firmness and elasticity may result from any combination of genetic predisposition, massive weight loss, pregnancy, and the natural effects of aging. Dr. Tom Liu and Dr. Jerome Liu utilize advanced techniques during the tummy tuck procedure to reshape the abdomen and restore a more youthful abdominal contour.
What Is A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or “abdominoplasty,” is a body contouring surgery that can help patients attain a flatter and tighter look in the abdomen. This is achieved by removing and redraping excess skin, extracting excess fat, and repairing stretched abdominal muscles if necessary. Depending on your needs, Dr. Tom Liu and Dr. Jerome Liu can often perform a less invasive version of abdominoplasty—referred to as a “mini tummy tuck”—for patients whose aesthetic concerns are less extensive. Ultimately, our plastic surgeon can help you formulate the most optimal treatment plan to achieve your desired physique.
