Miami Tummy Tuck

Individuals can attain a tighter, toned abdomen with tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty").

After childbirth and extreme weight loss, the effects of loose abdominal muscles and skin are only reversible through surgery.

Before and After

Tummy Tuck Information

When Dr. Hochstein performs a tummy tuck procedure, he will remove excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles. This may be performed with or without liposuction ("lipoplasty"). Tumescent, ultrasonic assisted (UAL), power assisted (PAL), or VASER ® Hi Def (VAL) liposuction can be utilized to smooth out the contours of the abdomen, while removing stubborn fat deposits. Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery are commonly performed together for post-pregnancy patients.

Many individuals who undergo these procedures also choose to complement their body reshaping results with breast surgery. To correct sagging and to regain lost volume after childbirth, breast lift surgery ("mastopexy") and/or breast augmentation surgery ("augmentation mammaplasty") are commonly combined. By undergoing these body contouring procedures, a woman is able to gain back the body she had before the effects of pregnancy. A combination of procedures along with a tummy tuck may also be performed on patients after weight loss to remove loose, excess skin and fat.
