Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty
Abdiminoplasty
Diet and exercise have cannot fix loose skin!
Exercise can strengthen and tighten the muscles and deeper tissues, but you can never regain the tension in your skin. Sit-ups, crunches, and diet cannot tighten your skin.
You’ve done the work. You’ve shown that you’re disciplined with your food. The scale shows that you’ve lost the weight, but you still see those unsightly love handles, stretch marks, and loose skin.
A tummy tuck performed at our cosmetic surgery center in Atlanta may be the right solution for you. This is a real option for many people who just need a little bit of help after they’ve done
so much work with exercise and diet.

About the Procedure
More about abdominoplasty
We perform several types of abdominoplasties.
- Lower abdominoplasty: for people with loose skin, mostly at the bottom of their abdomen. In these situations, the lower loose skin and fat are removed, This procedure can be easily combined with liposuction, to give improvement to the top, bottom and sides of the abdomen. In each tummy tuck, we examine the abdominal muscles before and during the surgery to decide if tightening will help the result. If the muscles are loose, allow bulge, or have a separation, we then recommend the muscle be tightened and repaired. If the muscle is in good shape and no looseness or weakness can be found, we do not necessarily recommend tightening the muscle.
- For loose skin above and below the belly button: the skin and fat must be released all the way up to the bottom of the chest and separated from the belly button, and re-draped lower.
- Sometimes liposuction, along with the tummy tuck, will be needed to contour the stomach. Also, liposuction will be performed in specific places to protect your blood supply, but your surgeon will show you where these are.
