Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Customized Abdominal Contouring with Dr. Puyana

Tummy Tuck Performed with Precision, Customization, and Definition

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is one of the most transformative body-contouring procedures available. Each year, hundreds of thousands of patients choose tummy tuck surgery to restore abdominal contour after pregnancy, weight changes, or massive weight loss.

What makes the difference between a good result and an exceptional one is customization.

At Puyana

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana performs custom-designed abdominoplasty, routinely combined with liposuction, to restore the abdomen to its most natural, athletic, and balanced form. Rather than offering a single technique, Dr. Puyana offers a full range of tummy tuck options, from mini to circumferential, carefully selected to match each patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and goals.

Whether you are a mother looking to restore your pre-pregnancy abdomen or a massive weight-loss patient seeking full-body balance, the goal is the same to bring your body back to its best state, with a refined waist and natural definition.

What Is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to:

Remove excess abdominal skin
Repair abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
Improve abdominal contour and waist definition
Restore strength and structure to the core

Dr. Salomon Puyana customizes every tummy tuck based on:

Degree of skin excess
Presence and severity of diastasis
Fat distribution
Desired waist and abdominal definition
Overall body proportions

Unlike liposuction alone, abdominoplasty addresses skin laxity and muscle separation, which are common after pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss.

Why Choose Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?

Patients choose tummy tuck surgery to achieve results that cannot be accomplished with exercise or weight loss alone.

Tummy tuck may be right for you if you want to:

Restore a flatter, firmer abdomen
Repair abdominal muscle separation
Improve waistline definition
Address loose or hanging skin
Achieve a more athletic, natural midsection

When performed with precision and combined with liposuction, abdominoplasty can dramatically enhance body balance while preserving a natural appearance.
