Imagine achieving the smooth, firm abdomen you’ve been striving for, especially when life events like pregnancy or significant weight loss have left behind changes that diet and exercise alone simply can’t resolve. A Tummy Tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a truly transformative body contouring procedure designed precisely for this purpose. More than just targeting fat, it skillfully removes excess, loose skin that can obscure your natural shape, while also tightening and repairing weakened or separated underlying abdominal muscles. The result is a beautifully sculpted, flatter, and more toned midsection that can dramatically enhance your silhouette and boost your self-confidence, helping you feel fantastic in and out of clothes.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure otherwise known as abdominoplasty that removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal region. A tummy tuck also restores any weak or damaged muscles in the abdomen to help create a stronger, firmer belly.
Leading a healthy lifestyle, eating a nutritious diet with controlled portion sizes, and taking regular exercise are key to maintaining health and physical fitness, but for some people, the belly is an area that resists these efforts.
You may be well-proportioned elsewhere on your body, yet still have a stubborn excess of fat in your abdominal region or a belly that is loose and sagging. Common causes for this problem include:
A tummy tuck can get rid of these stubborn areas of fat and skin to give you a flat stomach, improving your self-esteem and boosting your confidence.
When you attend your consultation with Dr. Mitts, he reviews your medical history including any previous surgeries you’ve had and evaluates your present health and well-being to determine whether you’re suitable for a tummy tuck operation. You have the opportunity to discuss all the benefits of having a tummy tuck and what you hope to achieve, as well as the possible risks associated with surgery.
Dr. Mitts takes you through the procedure and all your options before you agree on a treatment plan, and he’s passionate about ensuring his patients understand the procedure and feel happy at every step. Dr. Mitts also offers a mini tummy tuck that involves a smaller incision and is preferable for some patients.
Dr. Mitts recommends the most effective combination of sedative and anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the medications take effect, he makes a horizontal incision in the lower area of your abdomen above the pubic hairline.
Dr. Mitts removes excess fat and repairs any weakened muscles in the abdomen, before pulling the skin back into place. He then trims away any surplus skin, repositioning your belly button and suturing the skin into its new position.
After recovery from the anesthetic, you go home with detailed instructions regarding wound care and how to optimize healing, and an appointment for a follow-up consultation.
