Tummy Tuck in Annapolis by D. Paul Buhrer, MD
Tummy Tuck Surgery in Annapolis, MD
Enhance Your Appearance and Confidence with Abdominoplasty
Are you frustrated by excess fat and loose skin in your abdominal area due to pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss? Even with a healthy diet and exercise routine, you may still struggle with a protruding or sagging stomach. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can help you achieve the flatter, smoother midsection you desire.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat from the mid and lower abdomen while tightening the abdominal muscles. This comprehensive procedure results in a smoother, flatter stomach contour. Unlike liposuction which only removes fat, a tummy tuck addresses loose skin and muscle laxity as well.
