A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) — creating a flatter, firmer midsection that diet and exercise cannot achieve.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the abdominal wall muscles. The result is a flatter, firmer midsection.
Dr. Chung also repairs diastasis recti — the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles that frequently occurs during pregnancy — something that exercise alone cannot correct.
The procedure is ideal for patients who have loose abdominal skin after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging, and who want a more toned, defined abdomen.
Dr. Chung designs each abdominoplasty individually — from the initial evaluation to your final, flat, toned result.
Removes loose, hanging skin that persists after weight loss, pregnancy or aging and cannot be addressed through exercise alone.
Repairs separated abdominal muscles for a genuinely flat, toned stomach — the only procedure that addresses this condition.
Treats the 'pouch' below the navel that doesn't respond to diet or exercise — common after pregnancy.
Natural navel reconstruction and repositioning, seamlessly integrated with the new skin envelope.

Dr. Chung and his team accompany you throughout your entire recovery to ensure the best possible results.
