Life events like pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can naturally affect the appearance of the midsection. Loose skin, stretched muscles, or areas of fullness may remain despite healthy habits. These changes can make it harder to feel fully comfortable in clothing or as confident as you’d like. At Rose Cosmetic Surgery in Corpus Christi, we believe you deserve to feel confident in your body.
Why Women in Corpus Christi Choose a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to:
- Tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles<
- Remove excess skin that hangs or sags
- Smooth and contour the midsection for a more natural shape
This procedure is often chosen by women after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or when age has changed skin elasticity.
Dr. Rose’s Approach to Tummy Tuck
With over 2,500 surgeries performed worldwide, Dr. Rose brings extensive experience and a thoughtful approach to every procedure.
As a cosmetic surgeon in Corpus Christi, Dr. Rose understands that choosing surgery is about more than physical changes; It’s about helping you feel like the most confident version of yourself. His goal is to refine your natural features with results that feel authentic and true to you.
C-section scar revision. In many cases, Dr. Rose can revise this scar or remove it in place of the tummy tuck scar.
Mini-tummy tuck. In both full and mini versions of the procedure, Dr. Rose can remove excess skin, improve stretchmarks, and tightens the abdominal muscles. However, in the mini-tummy tuck, surgery stays below the belly button.
Fat removal. Dr. Rose may recommend liposuction as part of your procedure to give you a flatter tummy and shapelier flanks. Our VASERlipo® system allows Dr. Rose to eliminate fat as well as to shape it precisely for smoother, more attractive results.
