Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The primary goal is creating a smoother, firmer abdominal profile that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.

Common Reasons for Tummy Tuck Procedures

Patients typically consider abdominoplasty due to various life factors that impact abdominal appearance:

• Aging-related muscle and skin changes
• Genetic predisposition to abdominal protrusion
• Post-pregnancy body transformations
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Aftermath of previous surgical procedures

Procedure Limitations and Expectations

It is crucial to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss solution or replacement for a healthy lifestyle. While the surgical results are technically permanent, significant weight changes can compromise the aesthetic outcome.

Important Considerations

• Not a substitute for weight loss or exercise
• Best performed when patient is near ideal body weight
• May not completely eliminate stretch marks
• Recommended for patients with stable weight

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Dr. Burt Greenberg evaluates each patient individually to determine surgical candidacy. Ideal candidates typically have realistic expectations and are committed to maintaining surgical results through healthy lifestyle practices.
