Transformative Tummy Tuck Results

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

Not sure if a tummy tuck is the right step for you? Let’s talk about your goals.

I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and tried everything to get rid of the extra fullness around my midsection and hips. I had SmartLipo and have never felt more confident than I do now. I am incredibly happy with my new body! I am forever grateful to Dr. Kruy, Kim, and his entire staff for changing my life. Keri was my nurse the day of my procedure and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Everyone at the office is genuinely kind and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Kruy, and his team at Finesse Cosmetics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My wife just had her smartlipo surgery with Sr Shektman and her results are incredible-natural, beautiful, and exactly what my wife had hoped for. Not only has her confidence soared, but I see her smiling more, standing taller, and just radiating happiness. If your considering cosmetic surgery, this is the place to go.🔥

I heard about Finesse from two of my friends and wanted to share my own experience—especially how amazing the staff has been! After leaving today’s follow-up appointment, I felt compelled to share how smooth and positive this journey has been from the very beginning. I’m now 3 weeks post-op from my Smart Lipo on my arms, back, and flanks. While I know it’s still early to see the full results, I can already see a huge difference when comparing my personal before-and-after photos. The downtime and recovery have been exactly as explained, and everything discussed during the pre-op and post-op consultations has been accurate. The team was honest about what to expect and what kinds of results I could realistically see. I really appreciated that transparency. Joanne has been incredible—answering every question and addressing all of my concerns both before and after surgery. I’m extremely happy with my experience so far and would highly recommend Finesse. I’d absolutely consider returning for another service in the future! Maddison in the front desk - Thank you for being amazing and always welcoming with a positive attitude and smile!

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results — absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The team is truly the best — incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. They made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the process. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, which only added to the great experience. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering SmartLipo — it’s been a life-changing decision!
