By accentuating various abdominal contours along the upper and lower abdomen, a defined, smooth, natural-looking abdomen is restored.

The abdominal skin and tissue is advanced downward from the lower rib cage to the pubic hairline with equal distribution of tautness. Any laxity of the upper part of the abdomen can be eliminated comparable with reduction of the lower abdominal skin and fat to achieve consistent, natural results.

Using liposuction and other contouring techniques, the waist is thinned and made to gently taper towards the hips to create a longer, more graceful look.

Attentive and precise suturing at the incision line allows for a smooth, natural-appearing transition between the lower abdomen and pubic area.

With internal suturing and by reattaching the belly button to underlying muscle, a deep inward contour is made. Thus, a natural and youthful navel is restored.

The lower abdominal incision is strategically placed low on the bikini line. Thoughtful positioning, orientation, and design allows for swimsuits and underwear to easily cover any scarring.

Internal sutures tighten tissue and bring the muscles together to repair weakened abdominal muscles.

Dr. Chris Patronella has spent years studying and perfecting his True Form Tummy Tuck® technique. Throughout the years, he had consulted with many patients who were unhappy with the results of previous tummy tucks because they felt their tummies had an unnatural appearance or simply did not look as they had with their pre-baby bodies. Dr. Patronella felt that, while the tummy was flat and smooth, it lacked natural character and subtle definition.

The True Form Tummy Tuck® technique restores an authentically contoured abdomen rather than a flat surgical one. This technique’s most distinguishing characteristic is the focus placed on redefining the subtle contours of the abdomen and ensuring soft, smooth transitions throughout all abdominal regions. With his True Form Tummy Tuck®, Dr. Patronella skillfully sculpts an attractive, natural-looking abdomen rather than a standard and flat surgical one.
