A tummy tuck does create a scar, but our surgical team places incisions low on the abdomen where undergarments and swimwear can easily conceal them.

Abdominoplasty is frequently combined with liposuction, breast procedures, or other body contouring surgeries as part of a comprehensive transformation.
How long is recovery after vaginoplasty?
