Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is designed to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat, creating a smoothed and flattened abdominal wall. Abdominoplasty literally means “abdomen changing,” and the change can be dramatic. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeff Pokorney has performed many successful tummy tuck procedures for both women and men. If you are frustrated with excess abdominal fat and folding skin, schedule a consultation with Dr. Pokorney at either our Elizabeth City or Kitty Hawk Office.
