A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is done to improve abdominal contour. This can be achieved in a number of ways. This procedure can be helpful to those who have experienced pregnancy, or to individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. Many of these individuals experience stretch marks and skin laxity. Some also suffer skin irritation and rashes due to overhanging skin. These are just some of the problems that a tummy tuck can address. For those considering a tummy tuck, it is offered here in the Dallas area by plastic surgeon Dr. Ronald Friedman.

During tummy tuck surgery, excess skin and fat between the belly button and pubic area is removed. The muscles are tightened from the rib cage to the pubic bone, which decreases waist size by 2 to 4 inches. Liposuction is usually performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck to remove excess fat from the lower abdomen. A mini tummy tuck is also available. To learn more about the tummy tuck procedure, contact one of our Dallas area locations today and schedule a consultation appointment.
