What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have:

Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Tummy Tuck Techniques
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. offers several tummy tuck options to suit different patients’ needs.
Full Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck addresses both the upper and lower abdomen. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. removes excess skin, tightens abdominal muscles, and reshapes the waistline for a dramatically flatter stomach. The incision runs from hip to hip just above the pubic area, where you can easily conceal it beneath most undergarments and swimwear.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A less invasive option, the mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen, improving a stubborn “pooch” or lax skin below the belly button with a shorter incision placed just above the pubic area.
Extended Tummy Tuck
Ideal for patients with significant excess skin, an extended tummy tuck reshapes the abdomen, flanks, and lower back for comprehensive contouring. The incision extends beyond the hips but is positioned low enough to be hidden by most clothing.
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. takes great care in incision placement and provides detailed scar care instructions to support optimal healing. Most patients find that the transformative results of abdominoplasty far outweigh the presence of scars, which typically fade over time with proper care.
