Abdominoplasty in Miami, FL | Stephan Baker MD PA

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening underlying muscles. This transformative surgery helps patients achieve a smoother, more contoured stomach profile by addressing concerns that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

• Full Tummy Tuck: Addresses the entire abdominal wall
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Targets skin and muscle below the belly button

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

The most suitable candidates for abdominoplasty typically include:

• Healthy individuals with realistic body contouring expectations
• Patients with excess abdominal skin from pregnancy or significant weight loss
• Individuals with weakened or separated abdominal muscles

Medical and Cosmetic Benefits

Beyond aesthetic improvements, tummy tuck surgery can provide multiple health benefits, including:

• Improved core muscle strength
• Enhanced posture
• Potential reduction in back pain
• Correction of ventral hernias
