For both men and women, loose skin and stubborn abdominal fat can be challenging to address through diet and exercise alone. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging often contribute to changes in the stomach area that cannot be resolved without surgical intervention.

Dr. Glenn Lyle recommends tummy tuck surgery for individuals who:
- Have loose or wrinkled abdominal skin
- Are at a stable, healthy weight
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
- Are past pregnancy for women considering the procedure
Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery
