Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Benefits
Improved Body Contour:
Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is designed to create a flatter and firmer abdominal profile, enhancing your overall body contour and boosting your confidence.
Removal of Excess Skin and Fat:
Abdominoplasty effectively removes stubborn areas of fat and loose, sagging skin that are resistant to diet and exercise, making it an ideal procedure for those seeking to improve their abdominal appearance.
Muscle Tightening:
During the procedure, weakened or separated abdominal muscles can be repaired and tightened, which not only improves the shape of the abdomen, but also can improve posture and alleviate associated discomfort.
Reduced Stretch Marks:
While not its primary purpose, abdominoplasty can potentially reduce the appearance of stretch marks, particularly those located on the lower abdomen, by removing the skin on which they are located.
Increased Self-Esteem:
Many patients report increased self-confidence and self-esteem following their abdominoplasty procedure, thanks to the enhanced body image and comfort in their appearance that the procedure provides.
Our patients glow, and their reviews shine!
Are You a Candidate for Abdominoplasty?
At the Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Joanne Lopes carefully evaluates each individual to ensure they’re a good fit for abdominoplasty. Ideal candidates are those who are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results.
Abdominoplasty is particularly beneficial for women who, after pregnancies, are left with excess skin and a relaxed abdominal wall. Similarly, individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and now have loose, hanging skin around their abdomen can greatly benefit from this procedure.
While a tummy tuck is a powerful procedure for shaping and defining the abdomen, it’s important to remember that it’s not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program.
Dr. Lopes encourages anyone considering abdominoplasty to schedule a consultation. In a relaxed and confidential setting, she can discuss your goals and concerns, examine your physical condition, and give you a clear understanding of how abdominoplasty might work for you. Together, you’ll decide on the best course of action to achieve your desired results.

She will give you a realistic picture of what the procedure can achieve and ensure your goals align with these possibilities. This discussion will help you develop a shared vision for the results of the procedure.
Physical Examination and Procedure Explanation
Dr. Lopes will perform a physical examination to assess the condition of your abdominal area, which is crucial in planning the procedure.

A high BMI can sometimes pose challenges to both safety and results, we are proud to offer a comprehensive Weight Loss Program for patients with a BMI over 35. Central to this program is the use of Semaglutide, an FDA-approved medication known for its efficacy in weight management. Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain which regulate appetite and food intake. When integrated with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, our Semaglutide Weight Loss Program can be a powerful tool for achieving a healthier weight, making you a better candidate for surgery, and paving the way for optimal surgical outcomes.
