Tummy Tuck
 |
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin in the abdomen. The surgery can help restore your weakened or separated stomach muscles and create a smoother and firmer abdomen.
Patients may consider a tummy tuck because of changes resulting from:
- Pregnancy
- Aging
- Significant weight fluctuations
- Prior surgery
At Fletcher Allen, our plastic surgeons have advanced expertise in performing tummy tuck procedures. We are committed to personalized care, giving patients the confidence of expert care suited to meet their needs.
As a university hospital, every surgery we do is backed by the latest knowledge in the industry – and informed by the latest scientific research and techniques.
