Abdominoplasty
Restore a firmer, flatter abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening weakened muscles
Comprehensive Abdominal Transformation
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative procedure that addresses loose skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. Dr. Michael C. Glafkides performs both full and mini abdominoplasty to restore a firmer, more toned abdominal profile.
With 35 years of surgical experience, Dr. Michael C. Glafkides understands the physical changes that occur after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. His comprehensive approach not only removes excess tissue but also repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and repositions the belly button for natural-looking results.
A tummy tuck can dramatically improve abdominal contour and is often combined with liposuction for enhanced body sculpting. Many patients find that this procedure restores their confidence and allows them to wear clothing that was previously uncomfortable.
