Tummy Tuck

The skin over the abdomen area can become stretched out after childbirth or weight loss. This skin does not retract to its original tightness and can be loose and saggy. The abdominal muscles also may have become stretched out from their normal position, giving the appearance of a "pot belly" (which may not be improved with either diet or exercise). An abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" will correct both of these problems. The excess skin is removed and the muscles are tightened to firm up the abdomen. Liposuction is frequently done in conjunction with tummy tuck to provide optimal contouring.

Dr. Volk will individualize your treatment plan with you and discuss with you what type of abdominoplasty will give you your best results (ie. mini-abdominoplasty vs. full abdominoplasty vs. circumferential abdominoplasty).
