Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, trims, flattens and firms a bulging abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while also tightening loose abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck may be appropriate if you have trouble trimming your abdomen following changes in your midsection after pregnancy or despite exercise and weight loss.
As mentioned, abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin while tightening the abdominal wall muscles. By tightening the underlying muscles, Dr. Hovsepian creates an "internal corset" effect that produces a beautifully balanced waist line and abdominal silhouette. The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy. After the effects of pregnancy, a breast lift may also be needed. This combination of procedures is commonly known as a "mommy makeover."

This was my first cosmetic surgery. My husband and I met with 7 different doctors before unanimously choosing Dr. Hovsepian. Aside from immediately feeling at ease with him, his recommendations and medical expertise far exceeded those of other physicians, and his caring attitude was a huge differentiator. It felt like I had my own private, personal surgeon and friend throughout the whole process. Even the nurses in the surgical recovery hotel were gushing about how caring and nice he was! I truly feel blessed to have him as my surgeon and thank God every morning I look at the results! My eyes look 10+ years younger and less than a month after surgery you could not see any blemish at all! My tummy tuck results are amazing--really life changing! I would trust him--without question--with my life.
