What Is a Tummy Tuck?
Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery
Mini Tummy Tuck
Standard Tummy Tuck

High-BMI Tummy Tuck
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck involves a vertical incision from the sternum (below the chest) to the pubic area in addition to the standard horizontal hip-to-hip cut. This approach allows Dr. LaBarbera to achieve maximum muscle tightening in patients with significant fat and skin laxity above and below the belly button.
Male Tummy Tuck
A male tummy tuck removes excess tissue from the abdomen while repositioning the navel for a more natural look. This surgery is designed for men with unwanted skin and fat in the midsection. It is also suitable for male patients after significant weight loss.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
Individuals with Excess Skin Post-Pregnancy or weight loss
Post-Pregnancy: Many women find that pregnancy can significantly stretch their abdominal muscles and skin. A tummy tuck can effectively tighten these areas when they don’t naturally return to their pre-pregnancy state.
Post-Weight Loss: Individuals often have excess skin that doesn’t shrink back after substantial weight loss. A tummy tuck/abdominoplasty can remove this loose skin and stretch marks, enhancing the body’s contour.
