While lifestyle improvements can significantly improve the appearance and health of the body, they are not always enough to achieve and maintain the aesthetic results and toned stomach people want.
Intelligent food choices can lead to weight improvement, and regular exercise can firm up abdominal muscles, but neither of these measures can correct laxity and excess formation of skin, especially in the stomach area.
An abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck) at The Plastic Surgery Center at Williams done by board-certified body sculpting plastic surgeon Dr. Alain Polynice can tighten and tone skin and muscle, remove excess skin and fat, and achieve the sculpted physique patients are looking to achieve.
It is important to note that while a tummy tuck can involve some removal of excess fat, it is not intended to be a procedure for weight loss. Removing excess skin and some fat while tightening muscle and remaining skin will create a flatter, firmer-looking stomach, and provide a more well-toned appearance to the overall mid-section.
The abdominoplasty process begins with a consultation with Dr. Polynice, an experienced plastic surgeon who has performed over 10,000 procedures and is well-versed in tummy tucks on a variety of skin and body types. This consultation will allow patients to voice any concerns and help determine whether a tummy tuck is appropriate.
