Tummy Tuck in Miramar, FL

Both men and women prefer to have a midsection that is tight, toned, and sexy. Factors such as pregnancy, genetics, and weight gain can make it almost impossible to achieve a flat stomach to show off on the beaches of Miramar, Florida. Dr. David J. Levens is committed to offering tummy tuck procedures to his patients, which can lead to a more defined and attractive abdomen.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that leads to a flatter abdomen and reduces or eliminates stretch marks and excessive abdominal skin due to rapid weight loss or childbirth. It helps firm up sagging skin due to age-related issues or chronic poor posture. Abdominoplasty can help correct these conditions by removing excess loose skin and fat, as well as tightening underlying muscles. The procedure offers results that often cannot be achieved by diet and exercise.

Pregnancy can result in uterine enlargement and stretch abdominal tissue. Following childbirth, exercise can enhance muscle tone, but the tissues connecting muscles often remain unresponsive to exercise. Looseness or stretching of abdominal tissue can lead to bulges that cannot be corrected by abdominal crunches.

When abdominal fat is lost due to significant weight loss, the skin of the stomach may hang downward and become looser. Exercise will prove unable to tighten or tone this type of loose skin, but an abdominoplasty can remove excess skin and reveal the toned abdomen underneath. In addition, localized fat deposits around the abdomen are not limited to overweight people. Those who are relatively fit can also have fat deposits that lead to an unsightly bulge.

Abdominoplasty reshapes the underlying abdominal wall, removing fat deposits, eliminating loose skin, and removing stretch marks. The procedure leads to more youthful and flat abdomen. During your initial consultation, Dr. Levens will inform you the specific procedures required to achieve optimal results.

Tummy Tuck Benefits

Our patients normally desire abdominoplasty to remove fat bulges around their abdomen, but underlying muscles can also be helped with the procedure. Although abdominoplasty does leave a small scar, patients agree that the results are worth it. The scar can be concealed underneath undergarments and bathing suits, ensuring you will rarely notice it.

Good Candidates for Abdominoplasty

If you are of a healthy weight, you may make a good candidate for an abdominoplasty. Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty include:

  • Women who have stretch marks or sagging muscles and skin caused by childbirth.
  • Those with stretched muscle tissue, bulging, and excess skin caused by aging or poor posture.
  • Patients who have recently undergone significant weight loss and are left with excess skin.
