Tummy Tuck
A flabby or sagging abdomen can develop on both men and women for a number of reasons. From genetic factors that affect skin elasticity to recent weight loss , these causes leave excess abdominal skin that impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people every year. In most cases, an undefined abdominal appearance is the result of unwanted skin and loose abdominal muscles, which often cannot be treated through diet and exercise. A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess abdominal tissue and tighten the abdominal muscles to create a firmer, more defined abdominal contour.

All tummy tuck surgeries are performed with the patient under general anesthesia, which ensures a safe and painless procedure. To achieve a trimmer, flatter abdominal appearance for his patients, Dr. Cha will remove abdominal tissue and tighten the underlying muscles. To begin, a thin incision is placed along the lower abdomen beneath the bikini line, and a second incision may be placed around the navel if necessary. Through the incision(s), Dr. Cha can pull together loose or separated abdominal muscles and reinforce the abdominal wall with sutures. Excess tissue is trimmed away. The remaining skin is draped to highlight the new abdominal contour, and incisions are then closed.
