Tummy Tuck in Westport, CT | Ellen A. Mahony, MD

Sculpt Your Abdomen

Life can introduce many factors that cause significant body changes. Age, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can stretch skin, impacting body aesthetics and self-confidence. Many individuals are turning to tummy tucks to restore their body's youthful appearance and boost self-esteem.

How Does a Tummy Tuck Work?

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve abdominal region appearance. When skin is stretched from external factors, restoring its original condition becomes challenging. The procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening connective tissue to promote a more toned, youthful look.

The Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

• Stronger Core: Tightens abdominal connective tissue, improving posture and potentially alleviating lower back pain
• Minimize Health Risks: Removing excess skin and fat can reduce risks of diabetes and heart disease
• Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Reveals a contoured, youthful figure
• Hernia Prevention: Strengthened core muscles reduce abdominal stress
• Improved Self-Confidence: Achieve a more proportionate, desired body shape

• Mini Tummy Tuck: Removes minimal lower abdominal skin
• Modified Tummy Tuck: Addresses lower belly skin and muscles

Procedure Insights

Understanding what to expect is crucial. Dr. Mahony emphasizes patient education and personalized treatment plans. While tummy tucks involve scarring, the incisions are strategically placed in natural creases, minimizing visibility.

Recovery Expectations

Patients typically return to work within two weeks. Swelling and bruising are common and subside over several weeks. Full recovery can take 6-8 weeks, with gradual return to normal activities.
