TUMMY TUCK
WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is an ideal solution for individuals who struggle with excess skin, stubborn fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Good candidates for a tummy tuck typically include women who have experienced significant changes in abdominal appearance due to pregnancy and childbirth, individuals who have undergone major weight loss resulting in loose, sagging skin, or anyone bothered by the appearance of a protruding abdomen that does not respond to diet and exercise alone. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure.
THE PROCEDURE
During a tummy tuck procedure, our skilled plastic surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a firmer, more toned midsection. The surgery is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Depending on the extent of correction needed, options such as a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck may be recommended. Our goal is to sculpt a smooth, contoured abdomen that enhances your body's natural proportions and restores confidence in your appearance.
EXPECTED RESULTS AND RECOVERY
After a tummy tuck, patients can expect to enjoy a slimmer, more sculpted abdominal contour with improved definition and tighter skin. While individual results may vary, many patients experience a significant enhancement in their overall body silhouette, leading to increased confidence and satisfaction with their appearance. During the recovery period, temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and can be managed with prescribed medication and proper post-operative care. As healing progresses, patients will notice continued improvement in the appearance of their abdomen, with final results becoming more apparent over the following weeks and months.
