Serving Fort Lauderdale, Miramar, and Boynton Beach, Florida, Dr. Kamel delivers exceptional results tailored to your unique needs.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles, creating a flatter, more contoured midsection. This procedure is ideal for those who have loose skin or weakened muscles due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.
Detailed Procedure Overview
Dr. Kamel customizes each tummy tuck to address the patient’s unique anatomy and goals. The procedure begins with an incision along the lower abdomen, typically concealed by underwear or swimwear. Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying abdominal muscles are tightened for a firmer core. In some cases, liposuction is combined to enhance results. The surgery typically takes 2-4 hours, with most patients returning home the same day.
“For years I’ve always wanted a breast lift but I’ve always been hesitant. Not really sure why. I guess finding the right doctor played a major part. Dr. George Kamel came highly recommended by one of my coworkers and After meeting him I understood why… Very genuine & professional ! Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed with the results. I absolutely love my new tatas. He is the Best of the Best. Ladies, he’s really easy on the eyes too… And the office staff were super helpful and very nice!“Erin P.
