Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Roslyn, NY | David L. Kashan MD, FACS, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Understanding Abdominoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to flatten and contour the abdomen. Dr. Kashan applies refined surgical techniques to remove excess fat and skin while tightening abdominal wall muscles.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Key candidates for abdominoplasty include:

• Women who have experienced multiple pregnancies
• Individuals who have lost significant amounts of weight
• Patients seeking core muscle reconstruction

Procedure Types

Dr. Kashan offers three abdominoplasty approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Mini Tummy Tuck: Ideal for minimal excess weight and skin
• Standard Tummy Tuck: Suitable for larger skin and weight removal
• Fleur de Lis: Designed for extensive loose skin removal

Medical Benefits and Advantages

Beyond aesthetic improvements, abdominoplasty offers significant medical benefits. The procedure can strengthen core muscles, potentially relieving lower back pain and improving posture. Patients may also experience reduced risks of medical complications associated with excess abdominal fat.

Abdominoplasty vs. Liposuction

While liposuction solely removes excess fat, abdominoplasty provides comprehensive abdominal reconstruction. The procedure involves muscle restructuring and excess skin removal, offering more comprehensive body contouring compared to traditional liposuction techniques.

Timing Considerations

Though medically safe, Dr. Kashan recommends patients consider abdominoplasty after completing childbearing to maximize surgical results and maintain long-term aesthetic outcomes.
