Abdominoplasty

Exercise alone can’t always perfect your physical appearance, especially when it comes to tightening loose skin. Despite firming muscles, workouts can’t create a perfect hourglass shape if layers of loose skin remain.

At American Skin Institute, we offer two tummy tuck procedures to address different abdominal concerns. A traditional tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin above and below the navel, while a mini-tuck targets loose skin below the belly button, often after childbirth. Recovery for a full tummy tuck is 7-10 days, while a mini-tuck takes about half that time. Both can be combined with liposculpting for a slimmer, smoother waistline.

Tummy tucks are popular among those who’ve lost significant weight through surgery or strict diets, where rapid weight loss leaves behind loose skin. This extra skin can hide the slimmer physique underneath, making a tummy tuck the final step toward a better body!
