UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an advanced body contouring

reconstructing underlying muscle structure.

incision and faster recovery time. Ideal for patients with minimal
skin and muscle laxity below the navel.

closure. Board-certified surgeons Dr. Daniel Careaga and Dr. Paul
