Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Eden Plastic Surgery performs abdominoplasty to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten weakened muscles, creating a flatter, firmer midsection. The procedure addresses loose skin and muscle separation that may result from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. Dr. Charafeddine offers both full and mini tummy tuck options tailored to each patient's anatomy and goals.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at Eden Plastic Surgery Institute in Miami is a body contouring procedure that removes excess abdominal skin, eliminates stretch marks in the lower abdomen, and repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles — a condition known as diastasis recti that commonly occurs after pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation. Dr. Ali Charafeddine performs both full and mini abdominoplasty depending on the extent of correction needed. A full tummy tuck involves an incision from hip to hip along the lower abdomen, through which the surgeon tightens the muscle wall and removes a panel of excess skin and fat. The navel is repositioned to maintain a natural appearance. A mini tummy tuck uses a smaller incision and is suitable for patients with more limited skin laxity confined to the area below the navel. Both approaches result in a flatter, firmer abdominal profile that is difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone when loose skin or muscle separation is involved. Tummy tuck is one of the most common procedures performed as part of a mommy makeover — a combination of procedures designed to restore the body after pregnancy — and is frequently paired with breast surgery and liposuction. At Eden Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charafeddine creates personalised surgical plans combining procedures where clinically appropriate to minimise recovery time and optimise overall results. Patients from Miami, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Brickell, and across South Florida, as well as international patients travelling to Miami for body contouring surgery, can consult with Dr. Charafeddine to determine candidacy for this procedure.
