Tummy Tuck

Tone Your Abdomen and Transform Your Tummy with a Tummy Tuck!

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

Are you tired of struggling with loose skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles that no amount of exercise or dieting can fix? Say goodbye to your tummy troubles and hello to a sleeker, firmer, and more toned abdomen with a Tummy Tuck.

Also known as Abdominoplasty, this surgical procedure is a highly efficient treatment for tightening strained abdominal muscles and removing excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. If you have stretch marks on your abdomen due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations, a Tummy Tuck can significantly reduce their visibility. This technique improves the appearance of your abdomen, stomach, waistline, and lower back, giving it a smooth and flat appearance.

ZION PLASTIC SURGERY OFFERS

Our team of highly skilled and board-certified surgeons specializes in Tummy Tuck procedures. During your consultation at our surgical center, the surgeon will evaluate your stomach and determine which type of Tummy Tuck best suits your needs. Zion Plastic Surgery offers three types of Tummy Tucks:

Mini Tummy Tuck: A surgical procedure focusing on the area of the tummy that lies below the navel. It is minimally invasive and has a short recovery time. It is often used to tighten loose skin on the abdomen and remove excess fat.
Full Tummy Tuck: A surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. It also tightens the abdominal muscles and removes any excess skin in this area.
Extended Tummy Tuck: Usually performed by patients who need extensive skin removal. This typically occurs after a person loses a substantial amount of weight. An extended tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat, working on the abdominal muscles to tighten up your abs. This will give you a more toned midsection.
