A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure offered at Illume Cosmetic Surgery to restore a smoother, firmer midsection. This treatment removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and can also repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a more toned, contoured appearance.
This procedure is often chosen by individuals who have experienced pregnancy, significant weight loss, or age-related changes that leave behind loose skin and a protruding abdomen. Our board-certified plastic surgeons tailor each tummy tuck to your unique needs, with the goal of restoring balance, confidence, and comfort in your body.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) refines the eyelids’ form and function. It can be done on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both. It addresses excess fat that shows as under-eye puffiness, drooping or lax lower lids, extra skin in the lower lids, and loose or sagging tissue that changes the natural upper-lid contour and can sometimes narrow the visual field.
Many people choose it to reduce signs of aging. Others in their 20s or 30s seek it for inherited eyelid traits or early changes. The procedure is performed for both men and women.
