Ready to Achieve a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen?
A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles to create a smoother, more toned appearance. Ideal for individuals after significant weight loss or pregnancy, it addresses concerns like loose skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat deposits in the midsection. A Tummy Tuck can:
- Flatten the Abdomen: Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother, flatter abdominal appearance.
- Tighten Abdominal Muscles: Repairs and tightens stretched or separated abdominal muscles for improved core strength.
- Enhance Body Contour: Improves the shape and proportion of the abdomen, enhancing overall body aesthetics.
What Should I Know About The Procedure?
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. Incisions are made along the lower abdomen, typically within the bikini line, to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the incisions are closed with sutures. Often times the procedure is combined with targeted liposuction to maximize contour results. A compression garment is worn to support the healing process.
Recovery from a tummy tuck involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing. Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Dramatic results are immediately noticeable. The final results are visible once the swelling subsides, revealing a flatter, firmer abdominal appearance.
