ABDOMINOPLASTY

A Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, helps flatten and reshape the abdomen and torso by excising excess fat and skin while tightening the muscles. Dr. Weinberg has been performing abdominoplasties with great results for many years. Our patients love their new look after surgery under Dr. Weinberg's care.

A sound body and mind are necessary before any plastic surgery. Any patient in both good physical and mental health is a good candidate for abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty will rid pockets of fat or loose skin from the body, restoring it to a tighter and youthful state. Women who are planning to become pregnant should delay this procedure however, as weight gain and loss will diminish its effects.

An abdominoplasty will take about 2 to 5 hours and require general anesthesia. The procedure requires two incisions, one along the base of the waist and another around the navel. A patient will need from two weeks to a few months to recover.
