Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is for patients with excess lower-abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or a protruding stomach that does not improve with diet or exercise.
Quick Facts
- Also called abdominoplasty
- Performed under general anesthesia

Procedure Details
Dr. Salzhauer makes a lower abdominal incision, removes excess skin and tissue, tightens weakened abdominal muscles, and may use liposuction to remove fat.
After Weight Loss
Tummy tuck surgery may also be considered after gastric bypass or major weight loss, where excess skin can remain after weight reduction.
