About Tummy Tuck Services

Dr. Lisiecki offers comprehensive tummy tuck services to address loose, sagging skin and excess fat deposits around the abdomen. Various factors such as aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and genetics can contribute to the development of excess abdominal skin and fat. While exercise can tone muscles, it cannot eliminate sagging skin. A tummy tuck is an effective solution for achieving a flat, firm, and youthful-looking abdomen. Utilizing cutting-edge surgical techniques, Dr. Lisiecki personalizes each procedure to deliver the best possible results for a contoured and firm tummy.

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to create a smooth and flat abdomen. Depending on individual needs, the surgeon makes precise incisions to remove excess skin, eliminate fat deposits, and repair and tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. Liposuction may also be included to further contour the abdomen by suctioning away excess fat cells. This comprehensive approach results in a firm, taut, and youthful appearance.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

• Restores Abdominal Contour: A tummy tuck effectively restores a flat and contoured look to the abdomen.
• Removes Excess Skin: The procedure removes excess sagging skin from the abdominal area.
• Reduces Stubborn Fat: Excess fat deposits in the tummy are reduced.
• Repairs Muscles: The underlying abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened.
• Youthful Belly Button: The belly button is repositioned to a more youthful location.
• Eliminates Stretch Marks and Scars: Unwanted stretch marks and C-section scars below the belly button are removed.
• Enhances Clothing Fit: Improves the ability to wear form-fitting clothes confidently.

Ideal Candidates for a Tummy Tuck

Individuals who may benefit from a tummy tuck include those with:

• Excessive skin laxity and sagging in the abdominal area.
• Signs of aging, childbirth effects, or dramatic weight loss.
• Good physical and mental health.
• Nonsmokers or those willing to quit smoking before surgery.
• Realistic expectations regarding the outcome.

Dr. Lisiecki’s Personalized Tummy Tuck Technique

Dr. Lisiecki utilizes advanced surgical techniques for a personalized tummy tuck. The procedure involves making an incision near the pubic hairline, extending from hip bone to hip bone. This strategically placed incision ensures it remains hidden by swimwear. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the underlying muscles are tightened using sutures. If necessary, another incision is made around the navel to reposition it. The incisions are then meticulously closed with sutures to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery After Tummy Tuck Surgery

Post-operative recovery from a tummy tuck includes managing swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Patients are required to wear compression garments to aid healing and reduce swelling. Soreness may persist for about four weeks, but most daily activities can be resumed after approximately two weeks. Strenuous exercises should be avoided for at least six weeks to ensure optimal recovery.
