Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, Fort Worth Texas Before & After Photos

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure to address changes in the abdomen related to pregnancies or massive weight gain and loss. This procedure, through an incision low on the abdomen, allows tightening of the abdominal wall muscles and correction of rectus diastasis, a finding related to distention of the abdominal wall with pregnancy. The skin is redraped and in many cases, significantly trimmed, allowing for definitive removal of stretch marks that may be present around or below the belly button. Some patients are candidates for a drain less abdominoplasty; this decision is made and discussed at the initial consultation.
