JOHN T. LOUIS, M.D., F.A.C.S
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Abdominoplasty
A flat and well toned abdomen is what many of us strive to achieve through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck” is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
Abdominoplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight. Obese individuals who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have reached a stable and ideal weight for their body structure. Dr. Louis will discuss in detail the procedure style which he will perform that has given way for tremendous results. Abdominoplasty can also be combined with other forms of body-contouring surgery, including liposuction, fat injections, and breast augmentation.
