Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck—also known as abdominoplasty—is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while also tightening and/or repairing the abdominal muscles, as needed. This can produce a variety of functional and aesthetic benefits, including a flatter abdomen, improved posture, elimination of excess skin and fat, and enhanced abdominal contours. A tummy tuck can also help repair diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles become separated—often as a result of pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or overexertion while exercising. This makes it a popular inclusion in mommy makeover—also known as mommy restorations—and post-weight loss body contouring.
Our Nashville plastic surgeon, Amaka Nwubah, MD, has extensive experience performing abdominoplasties, including an advanced drainless technique.


“Dr. Amaka is one of the most talented plastic surgeons I have had the pleasure of working with. Matter of fact, when I chose to have surgery I knew she was the surgeon for me. I had an abdominoplasty and lipo 360 performed by her and I am beyond pleased with the results. She is an amazing woman with such a kind heart. You can't go wrong choosing her as your surgeon.”
