Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles. The result is a smoother, firmer, and flatter midsection.

Pregnancy, significant weight loss, and aging can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles beyond their ability to snap back. Diet and exercise alone cannot correct loose skin or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) — a tummy tuck addresses both.

Dr. Win Pound offers full abdominoplasty, mini tummy tuck, and extended tummy tuck depending on the extent of correction needed. Each procedure is customized to the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. A tummy tuck is also an excellent option for patients who have achieved significant weight loss through GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic or Wegovy) or bariatric surgery and are left with excess, hanging abdominal skin that cannot be addressed through further weight loss alone.

Dr. Pound also performs medically necessary panniculectomies and is in network with most major insurance companies. All surgeries are performed in accredited hospital settings — Northside Hospital Atlanta, Northside Cherokee, and Union General Hospital in North Georgia.
