Tummy Tuck Huntington Station by Charlotte Ann Rhee MD
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Huntington Station, NY
Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery
The midsection can be a challenging area to reshape. Life events like pregnancy and weight fluctuations significantly impact abdominal appearance. Diet and exercise cannot always achieve desired cosmetic results, making tummy tuck surgery a popular body contouring option.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure focusing on improving abdominal contours. The technique involves tightening and trimming abdominal muscle, connective tissue, and skin to achieve a flatter, more toned appearance.
Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery
