Tummy Tuck Houston (Abdominoplasty)
A “tummy tuck”, or abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen. A tummy tuck transforms a large, saggy abdomen into a tighter, more youthful looking mid-section. The improvement in contour can be quite dramatic for most patients. Some common benefits include: better-fitting clothes, greatly improved self-esteem, and even getting back in a bathing suit when you never thought you would,.
The Artful Houston Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck procedure helps to improve the contour of the abdomen and narrow the waist by tightening the abdominal muscles. Women with stretched abdominal areas due to previous pregnancies can benefit considerably from abdominoplasty. Other individuals whose skin has lost some of its elasticity and are slightly obese can experience an improvement in their abdominal area. A tummy tuck is effective for improving the overall firmness and appearance of your mid-section, eliminating loose skin and stretch marks. You may have heard of mini tummy tucks, extended tummy tucks, traditional tummy tucks and other variations of this surgical procedure. The key to getting the results you want is to speak with a skilled plastic surgeon.
