Tummy tuck is comprised of multiple components. The most important aspect is the removal and tightening of skin around the belly. Dr. Funt carefully excises loose skin and pulls the remaining skin taut to fit smoothly over the flatter shape of the abdomen. The skin is held in place with sutures. Depending on how much skin is removed, the belly button may disappear during this procedure. Accordingly, Dr. Funt can create a new hole that complements the new shape of the stomach.
Abdominoplasty can also be effective for patients wanting to address a separation of the abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy or other factors.During the surgery, Dr. Funt can reconnect the musculature to restore firmness and definition to the stomach.
