Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Many struggle with trying to achieve a flatter, well-toned tummy. When diet and exercise just don't work; you may want to consider a tummy tuck. Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck involves removing excess fat and skin, and in most cases restoring weakened or separated muscles. The goal is to create a profile that is smoother and firmer. By removing excess fat and skin and tightening the stomach muscles, a tummy tuck can be used to create a flatter waist line, improving appearance and increasing self-confidence.

Dr. Rosenberg is an experienced plastic surgeon that can help you determine if abdominoplasty is the best option based on your personal goals. His expertise in abdominoplasty ensures the location and positioning of each incision is carefully pre-planned - minimizing the visibility of surgical scars and giving you superior results.

Each person's anatomy and goals for a tummy tuck are different - some may require a mini tummy tuck and others an extended procedure. In some cases, Dr. Rosenberg may recommend a tummy tuck along with liposuction.

The likelihood of scarring and other risks varies from individual to individual and should be discussed with your doctor. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities in two weeks or less.
