Tummy Tuck Kansas City
Discover a Slimmer, Fitter You
Dr. Matt Chhatre performs tummy tuck procedures at his Kansas City area clinic.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is recommended for patients who have excess fat and inelastic skin in the stomach area. By removing excess fat and loose skin, a tummy tuck procedure can restore a fit, trim look to the body.

How a Tummy Tuck Works
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall to create a smoother, flatter appearance. The procedure can create a dramatic improvement in the appearance of a protruding abdomen. You are a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you are relatively healthy, but your dieting and exercise have been unable to eliminate a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin. You may also be a good candidate if you have experienced substantial weight loss because of diet and exercise alone or through gastric bypass or lap band surgery. Dr. Chhatre specializes in body contouring surgeries following massive weight loss.
The procedure is especially good for women who have, through multiple pregnancies, stretched their abdominal muscles and skin to a point where they cannot return to their pre-pregnancy shape. A tummy tuck operation can restore a mother’s pre-pregnancy figure, allowing her to enjoy motherhood along with the boosted self-esteem a toned, trim body can provide.
Risks of Tummy Tucks
Tummy tuck procedures have been in practice for years, and are considered safe and effective when performed by an experienced, reputable surgeon. However, as with any surgical procedure, a tummy tuck can involve some risks. Potential complications resulting from a tummy tuck can include unfavorable scarring, bleeding, infection, blood clots, nerve damage and persistent swelling.
Select a Qualified Surgeon
As a patient, the best way to avoid complications and achieve the best possible results of any plastic surgery procedure is to select a surgeon with excellent credentials and a strong track record. Dr. Matt Chhatre holds several honored distinctions and a long history of satisfied patients. He is a certified plastic surgeon, a clinical assistant professor of surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, a fellow at the American College of Surgeons, and a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
