Tummy Tuck Surgery

After substantial weight loss, many men find their abdominal muscles are weaker and the skin in that area has become much looser. Despite exercise and diet this excess skin may be difficult to tone up and can cause self-consciousness and anxiety. Having a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure can help. During the procedure the muscles can be tightened and excess skin removed, leaving a firmer and flatter abdomen.   

Many of our patients choose to combine a tummy tuck procedure with having liposuction to their waist area to create a new slim waistline.
