Tummy Tuck Surgery
An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is an ideal procedure for both men and women who have diligently followed their diet and exercise regimes but still struggle with a saggy or bulging abdomen. Factors such as post-pregnancy changes, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process can lead to a less-than-desired abdominal appearance.
Dr. Vinyard's expert technique targets and eliminates sagging skin, unwanted pockets of fat, and stretch marks, predominantly in the lower abdomen. His comprehensive approach also includes repositioning the belly button and mending the rectus abdominal muscles. With his vast expertise in body makeovers, patients who come to Port Saint Lucie, FL, can attain a beautifully redefined stomach area.
