Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview

Dr. Beam provides two distinct tummy tuck approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Traditional Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive abdominal reconstruction
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Less invasive option for targeted improvements

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have:

• Experienced significant weight loss with excess skin
• Post-pregnancy muscle separation and skin laxity
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Surgical Technique

During a traditional tummy tuck, Dr. Beam meticulously performs several critical steps:

• Creates a horizontal incision above the pubic area
• Separates skin from underlying abdominal muscles
• Removes excess fat and repositions separated muscles
• Removes redundant skin for a smoother contour
• Reconstructs belly button placement

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a recovery period involving:

• Initial swelling and bruising
• Prescribed pain management
• Compression garment support
• Recommended rest period of approximately two weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients commonly inquire about potential weight loss and procedure outcomes. Typically, patients can expect to lose two to three clothing sizes. However, maintaining results requires commitment to a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise.

Important Considerations

While tummy tuck surgery permanently removes fat cells, future weight gain can still impact results. Patients are encouraged to maintain their surgical outcomes through consistent health practices.
