Also called an abdominoplasty, this procedure allows a patient to tone their midsection and sculpt the figure of their dreams. Even with a rigorous diet and exercise program, stubborn body fat and loose skin throughout the abdominal area often feel impossible to get rid of. With this amazing procedure, our team can provide you with a firm and flatter stomach. Tummy tucks can also help patients who have recently lost a significant amount of weight but are still struggling with loose skin.
Am I a Good Candidate for an Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck Surgery?
The ideal tummy tuck candidate is a woman who is unhappy with her appearance due to loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles. For many women, these cosmetic issues become apparent after losing weight or giving birth to a child. While a tummy tuck can be very effective, it should not be viewed as a weight reduction procedure. Patients should be close to their ideal weight and in relatively good health. Before your surgery, our team must obtain a medical clearance to ensure that there will be no complications.
Many of our patients choose tummy tucks to:
- Improve their self-confidence
- Begin their journey toward a healthier lifestyle
- Remove stretch marks
- Remove localized body fat
- Tighten abdominal skin and muscles
- Create a trimmer waist
How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed?
Skin, subcutaneous fatty tissue (beneath the skin), and abdominal muscles will all be altered and manipulated during a tummy tuck. The location of the incision is determined by the patient’s body and their cosmetic goals. Most tummy tucks are carried out with a single incision on the lowest part of the stomach. By doing this, the incision is easily hidden by the patient’s clothes. Once the procedure is over, the incision is partially sutured shut, and a compression garment is wrapped around the treatment site.
