Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a procedure tailored to address the sagging skin of the abdomen. The most common causes are pregnancy and weight fluctuations. A common misconception with abdominoplasty surgery is that it does not adequately address adipose (or fat) of the abdomen, and instead targets loose and redundant skin. For patients who experience diastasis rectii, or separation of the abdominal muscles resulting in a bulging abdomen, Dr. Bill will perform what is called muscle plication to reapproximate the muscles to their natural position.
