Tummy Tuck

Despite doing countless abdominal crunches and eating a healthy diet, many people find it extremely difficult to reduce excess fat in the abdominal area. When diet and exercise prove to be ineffective, abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, offers San Francisco area residents a great alternative. A tummy tuck can significantly reduce excess stomach fat and create a more toned, sculpted appearance. Dr. Joseph Mele has performed many successful tummy tuck procedures for people throughout San Francisco and Walnut Creek. If you are frustrated with excess abdominal fat, tummy tuck is available at our San Francisco area office to help you achieve your goals.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Your tummy tuck procedure will first be discussed at our San Francisco area office. Dr. Mele will explain the procedure and speak with you about surgical expectations and goals. During the initial phase of the tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Mele will make an incision from hipbone to hipbone. The skin is separated from the abdominal muscle and excess fat and tissue are removed. The muscles are then tightened, excess skin is removed, and the incision is closed. Many of our tummy tuck patients combine the procedure with liposuction to obtain even better results.
