Your abdomen and tummy area can go through significant changes throughout your life. In many cases, these changes can leave you dissatisfied with the shape and appearance of your abdominal area. Even more frustrating is that diet and exercise alone might not be enough to restore your abdomen to a tighter appearance. If this sounds like you, a tummy tuck may be the perfect option for you. Dr. Gabbay’s procedures remove the surplus fat and tighten the muscles along the abdominal wall. The results provide the appearance of a flatter, smoother stomach.

Different Types of Abdominoplasty
We provide many options and choices for you when considering an abdominoplasty. During your consultation, Dr. Gabbay will help you find the one that best suits your goals.
Full Tummy Tuck
Mini Tummy Tuck
During a partial abdominoplasty, the technique Dr. Gabbay uses is similar to a full abdominoplasty but on a reduced scale. The abdominal skin is separated only between the incision line and the navel. This skin flap is stretched down, the excess skin is removed, and the flap is stitched back into place.

If Dr. Gabbay believes you are a good candidate, he will discuss your surgery in more detail. As with any surgical procedure, abdominoplasty does carry with it some degree of risk. Be open and honest when informing Dr. Gabbay about any past surgical procedures and current medications you are taking to increase the safety of the surgery.
