Detroit Tummy Tuck

A specialty of board certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Michelle Hardaway, Abdominoplasty, also called a Tummy Tuck, is a procedure to remove the excess skin from the mid-section, tighten the abdominal muscles and also, occasionally remove excess fat through Liposuction, as well. There are a number of reasons people opt for an Abdominoplasty procedure. The lasting effects of pregnancy or weight loss often include excess, sagging skin which can only be removed surgically. In addition, abdominal muscles which have become loose or separated can cause the abdomen to stick out, which is why abdominoplasty generally includes a tightening of the abdominal muscles so that when the remaining skin is closed over the abdomen, it lays flat and contoured.

The scars of Abdominoplasty are often a common concern among prospective patients. Dr. Hardaway works hard to leave them as inconspicuous as possible and most can be easily hidden by underwear or swimwear.
