Tummy Tuck in Langley, BC
Abdominoplasty with Dr. Marie Noland
Diet and exercise have limits. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging can leave stubborn fat, loose skin, and weakened muscles that don’t respond to lifestyle changes.
Dr. Marie Noland, Board-Certified plastic surgeon, offers abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to address these concerns. Her surgical approach focuses on technical precision and natural-looking results.
Schedule your consultation to discuss your goals and determine if abdominoplasty is appropriate for you.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck addresses excess abdominal skin, fat deposits, and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). This procedure is designed for patients at a stable weight who want to improve their abdominal contour.
Dr. Noland customizes each procedure based on individual anatomy and goals. The surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning the belly button when necessary.
What Are the Potential Benefits of a Tummy Tuck?
Physical Changes May Include:
- Flatter abdominal profile
- Reduced excess skin
- Improved muscle tone
- Refined belly button appearance
Functional Improvements May Include:
- Repaired abdominal muscles
- Enhanced core support
Individual results vary. No outcome can be guaranteed.

- Are in good overall health
- Have a BMI under 33
- Are at a stable weight
- Are a non-smoker or willing to quit
- Have realistic expectations

What Are the Surgical Options for a Tummy Tuck?
Full Abdominoplasty
A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdominal area. Includes muscle repair and skin removal. It may be combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring.
Mini Abdominoplasty
A mini abdominoplasty focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button. It involves a shorter incision and typically a faster recovery, though fewer patients are candidates for this option.
Abdominoplasty vs. Liposuction
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and repairs muscles. Liposuction removes fat deposits. Patients with both concerns may benefit from combined procedures, often as part of a mommy makeover or massive weight loss procedure.
