Tummy TuckWeight fluctuations, pregnancy, heredity and other factors can result in an abdomen that sags or protrudes. A tummy tuck is an option to target this specific area and remove excess fat and skin. There are two forms of this procedure:A mini tummy tuck involves the tightening of the muscles below the belly button and removal of excess fat and skin. It is particularly suited to addressing the impact of pregnancy. A full tummy tuck, suitable in the instance of significant weight loss, or a sagging belly, involves a longer incision and removal of excess skin from above and below the belly button, in addition to a tightening of loose abdominal muscles. This procedure results in a noticeably flatter, firmer abdomen. Email Dr. Hess Back to top
