Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape and contour of the abdomen. This surgery is especially beneficial for individuals who have excess skin and fat in the abdominal area following significant weight loss or pregnancy. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat and, in some cases, tightens the abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer midsection. The results of this surgery can significantly boost the patient's confidence and contribute to a more attractive and healthier appearance. Dr. Ali Salimzadeh performs this surgery with meticulous care, aiming for long-lasting and natural results for his patients.
