At Antell Plastic Surgery, abdominoplasty—commonly known as a tummy tuck—is performed to restore a flatter, firmer abdominal profile. Dr. David J. Antell uses advanced techniques to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles for transformative results.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty removes loose skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It is ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Candidates include individuals with excess abdominal skin, stretched muscles, or persistent bulges unresponsive to diet and exercise. You should be in stable health and not planning future pregnancies.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Dr. Antell makes a horizontal incision just above the pubic area to remove skin and tighten muscles. In some cases, the navel is repositioned for a natural look.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to normal activities in 2–4 weeks. The results are long-lasting with proper weight maintenance and core support.
