ABDOMINAL CONTOURING
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the abdomen by addressing excess skin and fat and, when appropriate, tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
Changes to the abdomen can occur following pregnancy, significant weight changes, aging or other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Melendez will evaluate your concerns and recommend an approach based on your individual anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all procedure.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Is a Tummy Tuck Right for Me?
