What Is a Tummy Tuck?
Dealing with stubborn belly fat or loose skin you just can’t seem to get rid of? Do you have abdominal muscle separation that doesn’t improve with exercise? Fluctuations in weight, childbirth, aging or genetics can add a layer of belly fat you just don’t love.
No matter the cause, our surgery team will help you snap back and love the skin you’re in. Designed to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat, an abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck) can help you feel confident in your body once more.
A tummy tuck at Renew Plastic Surgery can help you achieve a firmer, flatter contour in proper proportion to your body type and weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Liposuction will not restore loose skin around the abdominal area, it will just remove excess fat. A tummy tuck both removes excess skin and restores the muscles underneath the skin for a firmer, toned tummy.
The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is someone who simply wants to improve the contour of their abdomen and is overall in good health.
Depending on the amount of excess skin that needs to be repaired, a small amount of scarring is likely. However, our surgeons take special care to make incision sites that can be covered up easily in a bikini or undergarments.
