A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin, eliminating stubborn fat, and repairing weak muscles. Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can all play a role in weakening your abdominal area. This causes stretch marks, loose skin and, in some cases, muscle separation (diastasis recti) that no amount of diet or exercise can fix.
During the procedure, Dr. Salas places a low, discreet incision along the bikini line to allow for precise contouring. Dr. Salas removes excess tissue and deftly re-drapes the skin to create a more toned waistline. If necessary, he also repairs and tightens abdominal muscles to restore proper position and help you achieve a flatter stomach.
