Body Enhancement
    Tummy Tuck

    A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. But regardless of effort, sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include heredity, multiple pregnancies, prior surgery, and significant fluctuations in weight or congenital spine abnormalities that affect posture.

    If you desire a tighter, flatter abdomen, then a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) may be appropriate to help achieve your goals. A tummy tuck/abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin, and in some cases restores weakened or separated muscles. Dr. Colony is highly experienced and presents nationally on the wide range of abdominal contouring options. He will evaluate your individual situation and recommend choices that will help create an abdominal profile for you that is smoother, flatter, and firmer, which can enhance your body image and confidence.
