Tummy Tuck

(Abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure used to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall.

Abdominoplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.

The tummy tuck is a commonly performed plastic surgery procedure in our practice. A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess fat and skin in the tummy area. After tummy tuck surgery many patients notice a smaller waist line and stronger muscles.

In our practice, we always use liposuction during our tummy tuck procedures. Our belief is that patients will have a much better result when a tummy tuck is performed in conjunction with liposuction.

Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that uses a suction device to remove unwanted fat tissue and is usually performed on the hips and flanks during a tummy tuck. For a tummy tuck in Phoenix Arizona contact board certified plastic surgeon Aldo Guerra MD.
