A "tummy tuck" can give you a flatter, firmer abdomen. Your free, confidential consultation with Dr. Robert Brueck will show you how it can improve your looks.

When you think about it, a flatter, firmer abdomen can make you feel better about yourself. You probably think about it a lot if you are carrying around excess flab from pregnancy or successful weight loss.

Sure, exercise can work wonders. In fact, exercise is the preferred way to attack the problem . But that is often easier said than done, isn't it? If even the most active exercise doesn't remove that excessive flab, you should consider a "tummy tuck."

I say consider because a "tummy tuck" may not be right for you.

During your free, confidential consultation with me, I will examine your specific situation and discuss with you if you should be a candidate for a "tummy tuck.

Besides removing flab, a "tummy tuck" also strengthens weakened or separated muscles. A "tummy tuck" can be performed along with liposuction, or liposuction may be an alternative to a "tummy tuck" if localized fat is the sole reason for the problem.

The problem can be the result of heredity, multiple pregnancies, previous surgeries, significant weight fluctuations or spinal abnormalities affecting posture.

"Tummy tucks" often are done as part of a "mommy makeover", a term for surgery that gets rid of excess skin and/or fat left over from pregnancy.
