TUMMY TUCK
Tummy Tuck in Charleston, WV – Achieve a Firmer, Flatter Abdomen
Are you struggling with loose abdominal skin, excess fat, or weakened muscles that haven’t responded to diet and exercise? At Charleston Surgical Arts, we specialize in tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to help you achieve a firmer, more sculpted midsection and restore your body confidence.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin, eliminate stubborn fat, and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. This procedure is particularly beneficial for:
✔ Post-pregnancy abdominal laxity
✔ Significant weight loss resulting in loose skin
✔ Aging-related loss of skin elasticity and firmness
✔ Stubborn belly fat that diet and exercise can’t remove
By removing excess skin and repairing separated muscles, a tummy tuck creates a tighter, flatter, and more toned abdomen for a smoother, contoured silhouette.
