A flatter, firmer abdomen can be difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone, especially after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. At PPSD, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform customized tummy tuck procedures designed to remove excess skin, tighten weakened abdominal muscles, and restore smoother body contours. With decades of combined experience and a commitment to patient-centered care, our team helps patients throughout Charlotte and surrounding communities achieve natural-looking results that enhance both confidence and quality of life.
The Best Candidates For A Tummy Tuck…
- Are at a normal, healthy weight, but struggle with unwanted abdominal fat accumulation
- Have tried diet and exercise with disappointing results
- Have had multiple pregnancies with significant skin laxity and/or stretch marks
- Have found their abdomen protruding more and more with aging
- Are not planning major weight loss
- Are not planning future pregnancies
- Are willing to stop smoking 2-4 weeks before surgery
- Have reasonable expectations for improvement rather than perfection
During your tummy tuck in Charlotte, Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Lake Norman, and surrounding cities, 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.
