Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty)
one of the most satisfying procedures in plastic surgery, a tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, involves removal of excess, lax skin and fat from the abdomen along with tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles to achieve a slimmer, firmer and more toned appearance. women with loose skin, lax muscles and stretch marks due to pregnancy or weight loss find this surgery particularly effective. incisions are typically made below the bikini line and around the navel. depending on your body type, a mini, standard, extended or circumferential abdominoplasty may be performed. a tummy tuck can be performed as an outpatient procedure and dr. straka offers a pain pump which can be used to help diminish post-operative discomfort. tummy tucks usually result in a dramatic improvement in the appearance of one's abdomen.
