Abdominoplasty in Fredericksburg, VA | Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Loose skin and excess abdominal fat can be challenging to reduce despite diet and exercise. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging often contribute to stubborn abdominal changes. A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that reshapes the stomach area, delivering exceptional results for patients seeking a more sculpted physique.

• Extended tummy tuck: Hip bone to hip bone incision for significant skin laxity
