What is an Abdominoplasty?Do you dream of a slimmer figure with a flatter abdomen? Then tummy tuck may be the right procedure for you. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the contour of the abdomen. Patients often seek this procedure after weight loss, pregnancy or aging. During an abdominoplasty excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen is removed while the muscles are tightend in the middle and the belly button is repositioned to a new location to create a slimmer, more appealing look. At Houston Dermatology and Plastic Surgery our surgeons are highly skilled at abdominoplasty procedure and deliver safe and effective treatments that can help you achieve natural looking firmer silhouette you’ve always dreamed of.
