Tummy Tuck in Chicago
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. The goal is to create a firmer, smoother abdominal profile.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
As we age, our midsection can be a challenge. Pregnancy and weight changes can have irreversible effects on the abdominal skin and muscles, making it nearly impossible to achieve a tight, athletic look. For many patients, despite a vigilant diet and exercise regimen, the ideal abdominal contour is difficult to achieve.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an excellent option for these patients. This procedure typically involves:
Surgical removal of excess abdominal skin and fat
Tightening or plication of the abdominal muscles in patients with diastasis recti, a separation or weakness of abdominal muscles commonly seen with pregnancy
Creation of a new hole for the belly button, or umbilicus
Liposuction of the abdomen, hips, and other necessary areas to create a flatter abdomen with an ideal silhouette
Embarking on a tummy tuck journey is a personal decision, and Dr. Mendez is dedicated to guiding you through the process to ensure your goals are understood and achieved.
