What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that offers superior results that aren’t always achievable with just a healthy diet and regular exercise. This procedure involves making an incision along the bikini line and/or around the belly button, if the upper portion of your stomach is also a problem area. Through these incisions, abdominal muscles are tightened and excess fat and skin are removed to reveal a new you. For the best results, liposuction may be combined with a tummy tuck to achieve your body contour goals even sooner.
- A mini tummy tuck is also an option and is similar to a full abdominoplasty. The main difference is just the extent of the procedure. Mini tummy tucks exclusively address excess fat and skin of the lower abdomen, and they result in less scarring.

A tummy tuck is not a suitable option for weight loss. This procedure sculpts the body into a more desirable shape but does not reduce your weight. If you are not at your desired weight, consider Semaglutide, a weight loss injection offered at the Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute.This FDA approved weight loss injection suppresses hunger, helping you to eat less and lose more. Schedule a consultation to find out if you’re a good candidate for Semaglutide.
