Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Overview

When pregnancy or major weight loss leaves loose, folded abdominal skin — often with separated core muscles — no amount of fat removal restores a flat line. Abdominoplasty excises the excess skin, tightens the abdominal wall, and repositions the navel for a genuinely flat, firm result.

DU's approach places the roughly 2-hour operation's incision low, within underwear lines, and pairs it with liposuction where contour demands. Stitches come out around day 7 with gradual return over the following weeks.
