About Tummy Tuck Surgery

No matter how many hours you spend at the gym, or how clean your diet is, the abdominal area is notoriously difficult to tighten and tone.

The abdomen is also a hard area to slim if you have:

• Had multiple pregnancies
• Noticed signs of aging
• Experienced weight fluctuations that left loose skin
• A genetic disposition for a larger midsection or loose abdominal skin

Tummy tuck, otherwise known as abdominoplasty, reduces the appearance of a protruding abdomen by removing excess fat and loose skin. The remaining skin is brought down and tightened across the midsection. If the muscles of the abdominal wall have separated, they are tightened. Liposuction techniques are incorporated into tummy tuck surgery to reduce localized fat deposits.
Some scarring from tummy tuck is inevitable, but our surgical team at The Georgia Institute For Plastic Surgery make special efforts to conceal the scars in inconspicuous areas (typically hidden beneath the bikini line).

Your Tummy Tuck Options

Tummy tuck surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and follows a treatment plan that is tailored to your particular goals. At our practice, we offer a unique twist on traditional tummy tuck called an Around the World (ATW) tummy tuck; if you would like surgery to target your love handles and lift your thighs and buttocks, the ATW may be a great option for your needs.

No matter which approach to tummy tuck your plastic surgeon takes, it’s important to consider the timing of your procedure. You should not plan to have any children or gain a significant amount of weight after your tummy tuck, as these situations can reverse the results of surgery.
