Expert Tummy Tuck Surgery in Monterey, CA — Sculpted, Feminine, and Beautifully Balanced.

Enhance your body proportions for long-lasting confidence.

At Gallery Plastic Surgery, tummy tuck surgery is one of our signature specialties. We go far beyond standard abdominal tightening — our advanced approach focuses on sculpting the waistline, refining proportions, and restoring confidence through artistry and precision.

Many people struggle with loose skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Our tummy tuck in Monterey helps you achieve a firmer, smoother, and more defined midsection — revealing the elegant, natural contours that were always meant to be yours.

The Gallery Plastic Surgery “Hourglassplasty”

We are known for our signature Hourglassplasty — an advanced technique designed to create the soft, feminine curves of an hourglass silhouette.

By combining abdominal muscle repair, strategic liposculpting, and waistline contouring, we enhance definition through the entire torso — not just remove skin.
This creates a cinched waist, smooth abdomen, and gentle contour transitions that celebrate your natural proportions.

Our patients often tell us they finally see the waist and curves they never knew they had.

Our Approach: Artistry Meets Precision

Each tummy tuck is meticulously customized to your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
Depending on your needs, we may incorporate:

  • Full Tummy Tuck: Tightens muscles and removes excess skin across the abdomen.

  • Mini Tummy Tuck: Focused tightening for the lower abdomen only.

  • Extended or Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck: For patients after significant weight loss, addressing both horizontal and vertical laxity.

  • Liposuction & Renuvion® Skin Tightening: To refine definition and enhance your sculpted contours.

We take a 360° approach — viewing the abdomen, waist, and hips together — for results that are smooth, natural, and beautifully proportioned.
