The Life-Changing Benefits of A Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can do more than improve how your midsection looks—it can help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident in your everyday life.

Slim & Contour Your Midsection

A tummy tuck removes excess fat and loose skin to create a smoother, more defined silhouette.

Remove Loose Skin & Tighten Separated Muscles

Dr. Shektman repairs weakened abdominal muscles while removing stretched skin, restoring a flatter, firmer appearance.

Improve Core Support & Comfort

Strengthening the abdominal wall can improve posture, stability, and overall comfort with daily movement.

Is A Tummy Tuck The Right Step For You?

If pregnancy or weight loss has left you with loose skin or stubborn abdominal fat, a tummy tuck can help restore balance and definition.

You may be a candidate if:

  • You are bothered by loose or sagging abdominal skin
  • Your abdominal muscles feel stretched or separated
  • Stubborn fat in your midsection hasn’t responded to diet or exercise
  • You are near your ideal weight but want a smoother, firmer contour
  • You are in good overall health

Full Tummy Tuck

  • Addresses the entire abdominal area
  • Repairs significant muscle separation
  • Removes excess skin and fat
  • Repositions the belly button for a natural appearance
  • Ideal for more comprehensive transformation

Mini Tummy Tuck

  • Focuses on the lower abdomen
  • Removes mild to moderate excess skin
  • May include limited muscle tightening
  • Belly button typically remains unchanged
  • Shorter recovery

SkinTuck™

  • Targets loose or crepey skin without muscle repair
  • Ideal after weight loss, including GLP-1–related changes
  • Improves skin laxity while maintaining natural contours
  • Less extensive than traditional tummy tuck
