Pittsburgh Surgeons specialize in this cosmetic  procedure, which involves the removal of excess fat and skin, and helps  patients achieve a toned abdomen.

Both women and men who desire a smoother,  flatter stomach should consider <a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/abdominoplasty\/\">abdominoplasty<\/a>; Pittsburgh surgeons can  help you, during your consultation, to decide if you are the right  candidate for the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>You have a choice between a full tummy tuck and a mini abdominoplasty.   In a full tummy tuck, an incision is made from hip to hip just above the  pubic area whereas in a mini or partial tummy tuck, the incision is  much smaller. A full tummy tuck may take around one to five hours  depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed and a mini tummy  tuck may take somewhere around one to two hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 4px 12px 2px 2px; float:left;\" title=\"abdominoplasty_pittsburgh_beforeafter\" src=\"\/files\/2014\/09\/abdominoplasty-pittsburgh_beforeafter-300x109.jpg\" alt=\"abdominoplasty_pittsburgh_beforeafter\" width=\"300\" height=\"109\" style=\"float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px\" \/>Pittsburgh surgeons offer a mini abdominoplasty, which is able to  achieve an even flatter stomach. Female patients who are unsure if they  might get pregnant in the future or plan on getting pregnant at some  time must see their qualified surgeons to discuss the possibility of an  <a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/abdominoplasty\/\">abdominoplasty<\/a>. Pittsburgh cosmetic surgeons may use either of the  procedure depending on the patient&#8217;s skin elasticity and muscle tone.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a few months before the final result can be seen in the wake of  an <a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/abdominoplasty\/\">abdominoplasty<\/a>. Pittsburgh surgeons take special care to ensure that  their patients are able to enjoy their new shape. The scars from the  surgical procedure fade with time, but they never fully go away. The  severity and visibility of the scars depend on the type of the method  that is performed.<\/p>\n<p>Your dream of having a sleek and flat abdomen can come true with the  help of a tummy tuck. As far as the cost factor is concerned, it would  vary depending on the type of tummy tuck you need to undergo, your age  factor, your weight and of course your state of health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdominoplasty or &#8220;tummy tuck\u201d is a procedure used to make the abdomen more firm and slender.
