Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Phoenix, AZ

Having excess skin and fat in your stomach area can make you feel unhealthy and out of shape. A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin. Many women and men throughout the Phoenix area choose tummy tuck surgery to treat cosmetic concerns including bulging and excess fat tissue in the lower abdomen, loose skin on the stomach, laxity or widening of the abdominal six-pack muscles, and unsightly scars or stretch marks in the lower abdomen.

Moms’ post-pregnancy, as well as people who have loose belly skin from weight loss, cannot tighten their loose skin or abdominal “six-pack” muscles no matter how much they work out at the gym. This is how a tummy tuck can make a dramatic improvement to your midsection. Since no amount of exercise or crunches can remove excess skin or re-tighten your “six-pack” muscles, a tummy tuck is considered the gold standard for getting a flatter and well-toned abdomen.

Dr. Shaili Gal is a double-boarded plastic surgeon serving the Phoenix area. She is passionate about the art of body sculpting and shaping since she is passionate about enhancing her patient’s lives. A tummy tuck can help you have a flatter, more tight mid-section and help you feel more comfortable in your clothes. In addition, Dr. Gal will place the scar as low as possible so you can hide it below your panty line or briefs. She will create a small “innie” belly button and enhance your results with liposuction of your flanks (love handles).

Candidates for tummy tuck procedure are typically men or women who are bothered by excess skin or fat in their abdominal area and want to achieve a flatter, more toned appearance. Some common reasons why a person may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck include:

• Excess skin and/or fat
• Abdominal muscle weakness
• Post-pregnancy
• Weight loss
• Cosmetic reasons

It’s important to note that a tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure that involves significant recovery time and should not be considered a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle. Candidates for a tummy tuck should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations for the procedure, and be committed to maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle after the surgery.
