Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology

During your tummy tuck, your surgeon will remove skin and fat, use suturing, and even liposuction to eradicate unwanted belly fat from the lower and middle abdomen, firming and toning the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck is often part of the more comprehensive mommy makeover, which typically includes breast augmentation, breast lift, and facial injectables.
