A Tummy Tuck surgically removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen & tightens loose muscles. It is one of today’s most popular “body contouring” procedures.
Genetics & Lifestyle
Health and youthfulness is conveyed in today’s world by a flatter abdomen, tighter skin and a contoured waistline. Aging, lifestyle, genetics and weight fluctuation are common problems today. Often, in spite of diligent dieting and rigorous exercise, loose skin and muscle laxity resists our best efforts. It happens at various ages and stages in life…some people struggle with it all their lives. Tummy Tuck, also called Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular procedures I do because it gets rid of loose, hanging skin and folds, excess fat, tightens muscles and contours your body to a more youthful look.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview
Abdominoplasty requires careful planning, skill and experience to achieve optimum, long lasting results. It can involve a full tummy tuck, or mini tummy tuck and may be combined with surgery done by other specialties, including general surgery and OBGYN. Tummy Tuck may include liposuction for excess fat removal. Dr. Rudderman makes an incision at the pubic bone and works through it to remove excess fat, loose skin and to tighten and reposition muscles. Sutures close the often well-hidden incision.
