Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck in Princeton, New Jersey
For many individuals, having a tight, toned abdomen is a source of confidence and pride. However, no amount of sit-ups or crunches can reduce the sagging excess skin that’s often caused by pregnancy or excessive weight loss, and often surgery is the best option. Dr. Jill Hazen offers tummy tuck procedures in Princeton, NJ to help patients achieve the slim, flat stomach they’ve been looking for.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, removes the stretched or sagging skin along the abdomen to achieve a tighter and more attractive appearance, very often after the skin has become overstretched due to pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Tummy tuck surgical details
An abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, and is usually done on an outpatient basis. An incision is made along the bikini line in order to remove the excess skin.
The skin is then separated from the tissue and “tucked” together for a toned and natural look, with scars that can be hidden, even in swimwear. Liposuction and/or muscle repair may also be performed during the procedure. If this is the case, Dr. Hazen will discuss this with you during your consultation.
Adding other procedures
A tummy tuck procedure can be even more transformational when used in combination with other treatments such as liposuction and breast augmentation, giving patients a more attractive appearance overall. If you’re interested in combining your tummy tuck with another procedure, please let Dr. Hazen know during your consultation and she will be happy to go over your options.
