How Does the Procedure Work?
During the procedure, surgeon Dr. David Mosier will lift the skin from the abdomen and tighten the underlying muscles with carefully placed sutures to ensure long-lasting results. Excess fat in the area is sculpted, sometimes using liposuction techniques, to create more proportional contours and a smoother silhouette. Once this is complete, the skin is drawn downward, excess skin is snipped away, and the incision is stitched carefully to minimize scarring.

One to Two weeks is recommended before returning to work. Approximately 6 weeks is expected for a full recovery.
