Abdominoplasty

Achieving a flatter, tighter abdominal area is a goal for many people, women and men alike. There are a variety of reasons why someone may be dissatisfied with his or her waistline and abdomen, and the "tummy tuck" procedure, or abdominoplasty, might be an appropriate option for achieving a slimmer, more aesthetically appealing abdominal contour.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

The term “tummy tuck” refers to a cosmetic surgery procedure more formally known as abdominoplasty, which is designed to help patients sculpt and tone their abdominal areas. During a tummy tuck procedure, the surgeon manually tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall and sutures them into place. the surgeon then removes any excess skin from the patient’s abdomen to create a firmer, flatter midsection. The abdominoplasty procedure can be customized to each patient’s specific goals and may include liposuction or be combined with other body lift procedures.

Are You a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty?

The ideal candidate for an abdominoplasty procedure is someone who has been unable to tone his or her abdominal region, even with the help of a healthy diet and exercise routine. While most people associate cosmetic surgery with women, the male tummy tuck is becoming an increasingly common way for men to flatten the difficult-to-tone stomach area. Abdominoplasty is also a fairly common method of restoring a woman’s figure after pregnancy. As with any plastic surgery procedure, results of tummy tuck surgery can vary, and candidates should discuss their goals with their surgeons in order to establish reasonable expectations. In addition, patients should be committed to maintaining their results with a stable diet and regular exercise after abdominoplasty.

Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery

With the increasing popularity of surgical body contouring, our cosmetic surgeon has developed a variety of procedures to sculpt the abdomen and midsection. Many patients choose to undergo a traditional tummy tuck, while patients who have only a slightly protruding abdomen may opt for a less aggressive mini tummy tuck. The minimally invasive endoscopic tummy tuck is ideal for patients who have just a small amount of excess skin around the abdomen. Patients who desire more dramatic changes, or the removal of large amounts of excess skin and fat, will need to undergo an extended or circumferential tummy tuck. These procedures are designed to help patients who have experienced massive weight loss accentuate their new figures.
