Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is capable of addressing so many common issues such as excess skin on the front of the tummy, both above and below the belly button. Dr. Gurley can combine a tummy tuck with liposuction to address any excess hip, back, or waist fullness. This procedure is particularly helpful in restoring the body after pregnancy by restoring the pubic area, repairing separated muscles in the abdomen, and permanently removing stretch marks. Mini Tummy Tuck – A mini-tuck is great for the generally fit person with a stubborn muffin top that won’t subside. Incisions are so small that this procedure is often referred to as a scarless tummy tuck. Standard Tummy Tuck – A standard tummy tuck removes a larger area of skin and tissue. In some cases, liposuction accompanies the tuck procedure. Incisions in the standard tuck may run from hip to hip, just above the pubic area, where any scarring can be hidden beneath underwear or a bathing suit. This surgery may be ideal for the man or woman who has a substantial amount of loose skin, or whose muscles have become excessively lax after pregnancy or weight loss. Extended Tummy Tuck- The extended tummy tuck addresses excess skin and tissue across the abdomen, as well as the flanks or back. Some patients choose the extended tuck to lift and tighten the abdominal wall as well as the buttocks.
