Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)Tummy Tuck Surgery in Latham, New York

The full tummy tuck is a comprehensive procedure designed to reshape the entire abdominal area — removing excess skin and fat while tightening the core muscles beneath.

Often referred to as a "power tuck," this option is ideal for patients who’ve experienced significant body changes due to pregnancy or weight loss.
This procedure delivers dramatic improvement to both form and function—restoring core strength and creating a more sculpted, balanced silhouette.

Full Tummy Tuck Benefits:

• Flattens and tightens the full abdominal area
• Repairs separated or weakened muscles
• Removes loose skin and lower abdominal stretch marks
• Creates a newly positioned, natural-looking belly button
• Ideal for post-pregnancy or major weight loss transformation

Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, FAB avoids any incision around the belly button. Instead, the belly button is temporarily detached and repositioned from the inside, allowing for full muscle tightening from the sternum to the pubic bone without visible scarring.

An endoscopic camera is often used to enhance precision during the repair. Liposuction is performed alongside the muscle work to further define the waist and upper abdomen, giving patients smoother, more athletic contours.

The result is a flatter, tighter stomach with no external belly button scars and a significantly shorter incision overall.

Why Patients Love FAB:

• No visible incision around the belly button
• Smaller, lower abdominal incision
• Full abdominal muscle tightening
• Integrated liposuction for enhanced definition
• Ideal for slim to moderate patients with loose skin and core separation

For patients with a small lower belly “pooch” or mild skin laxity below the navel, the mini tummy tuck offers a streamlined solution—with less downtime and a shorter scar.

This focused procedure removes excess skin and fat just below the belly button. The lower abdominal muscles are gently tightened, and liposuction is often used to fine-tune the contour of the waist and stomach.

Performed under general anesthesia, the mini tuck is an outpatient procedure with a quicker recovery than full abdominoplasty. It’s ideal for patients in good shape who want a modest, natural-looking improvement.

Benefits of a Mini Tummy Tuck:

• Short incision placed just above the bikini line
• Targets fat and skin below the belly button
• Outpatient surgery with faster recovery
• Includes muscle tightening and optional liposuction
• Best for fit patients with mild skin laxity or post-baby changes

After weight loss or pregnancy, many patients are left with loose skin, weakened core muscles, and stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. The extended tummy tuck is designed to address these concerns across the entire midsection and lower back.

This advanced procedure allows Dr. Lloreda to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, flanks, and love handle area. The result is smoother, more balanced contours — with incisions easily concealed by most swimsuits and undergarments.

At The Williams Center, Dr. Lloreda also offers the R.E.A.L. Tummy Tuck (Reconstructive Extended Abdominoplasty with Liposuction), a more advanced procedure that combines full-body sculpting with abdominal wall reconstruction.

In addition to lifting and tightening skin, the R.E.A.L. technique uses liposuction to remove fat from the abdomen, thighs, hips, and lower back. Dr. Lloreda also repairs separated core muscles to restore a stronger, flatter foundation.

Ideal for Post-Weight Loss or Post-Pregnancy:

• Tightens skin across the abdomen, hips, and flanks
• Liposuction enhances definition and removes excess fat
• Reconstructs weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Best for patients with significant skin laxity and core changes
