Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck tightens and removes excess skin, tightening loose abdominal muscles as well. This procedure is performed with artistic skill, a quality that San Francisco based Dr. Albert Chow specializes in.

There are patients who come in with a fair fullness in their body, in particular on the abdomen. There are reasons for that. There are some people who actually have fat there but then there are other people who have laxity in the structures that support the internal organs and having may be too much skin in that area. Patients who come in, say in their 30s or early 40s, who have children, really liposuction is not the answer for them. It is a matter of getting the tissues back to where they were before.
