Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Rockville, MD

Understanding Abdominal Cosmetic Concerns

The abdominal region is frequently a source of aesthetic concern for many patients. Factors like weight fluctuations and pregnancy can stretch skin and muscles, leading to excess skin, stretch marks, and muscle separation. While exercise strengthens core muscles, it cannot address loose skin and persistent abdominal concerns.
