Tummy Tuck (Lipoabdominoplasty / Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the most effective cosmetic procedures for restoring a smoother, firmer abdominal contour. This surgery removes excess skin and stubborn fat that often remain after pregnancy or weight loss—despite exercise and healthy habits. During pregnancy or significant weight changes, the “six‑pack” muscles can separate, a condition called rectus diastasis. When this occurs, the lower abdomen may appear bloated or protruding, often referred to as a “pooch.”

During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Reynolds removes loose skin and persistent fat while also repairing and tightening the separated abdominal muscles. This combination creates a flatter abdomen, a more defined waistline, and a stronger core. Many women also appreciate that stretch marks located on the lower abdomen can be removed if they fall within the area of skin excised during surgery.

The incision for a tummy tuck is placed low on the abdomen—similar to the location of a C‑section scar—allowing it to be easily hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. This helps patients feel confident returning to their favorite clothing styles, including two‑piece swimsuits.
