A flat and well-toned tummy is a goal that many strive towards through exercise, diet and weight control. Despite one's best efforts, the goal of a flat and toned tummy may not be achieved. The tummy tuck procedure (also known as abdominoplasty) re-contours the abdomen by removing loose skin, stretch marks, fat bulges and repairing the abdominal muscles. During the procedure, liposuction will also be performed to remove any extra fat. The tummy tuck incision is placed at the pubic hairline, extending from hip-to-hip where the scar can be hidden by your underwear. There is also a circular incision/scar around the belly button.

"Dr. Adrian Lo is amazing!! The staff is amazing! I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and I am so happy with my results! I feel like a new person and it has given me so much confidence! I have two children and pregnancy did a number on my body...I had so much skin hanging and I had no belly button because I had hernia surgery and my doctor sewed over my belly button...it was horrible! Dr. Adrian Lo was actually able to make me a new belly button when I never thought it was possible!..." - J. K.
"I have recently had a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I am absolutely delighted with the results. Most importantly, I want to praise Dr. Lo and his wonderful staff. The staff in particular are the kindest, informative and patient group of professionals you can hope for. They were always available to answer all of my questions and when I had concerns or fears they were very supportive and comforting. I am still healing but I can say the procedure was not as painful as I anticipated... " - L. R.
