Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Murray, UT

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

The abdomen is scientifically one of the most challenging body areas to enhance through diet and exercise alone. A tummy tuck helps eliminate sagging skin and achieve a firm, toned stomach. Envision Cosmetic Surgery offers this transformative procedure to residents of Murray and the greater Salt Lake City area.

• Excess skin and fat removal
• Abdominal muscle tightening
