Tummy Tuck
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is recommended for patients who have not only fat, but excess and inelastic skin in the stomach area. If you have only some excess of fat, but with good skin tone, Liposuction may be sufficient to provide the body contouring results you desire.
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 of 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 also are a good candidate if you have had large weight loss due to diet and exercise alone or through gastric by pass 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 the point that they cannot return to their pre-pregnancy shape. A tummy tuck is a procedure that can give great results.
