Tummy Tuck Ann Arbor, MI | Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery

Michigan Tummy Tuck Overview

If weight changes or pregnancy have permanently altered the shape of your mid-section, Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery offers advanced tummy tuck procedures. Also called abdominoplasty, this treatment addresses stubborn love handles, excess skin, and belly bulges, helping patients rediscover a tight, flat tummy.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Tightening and repair of abdominal muscles
• Removes excess abdominal skin
• Reshapes the belly button
• Improves posture and potentially reduces back pain

Standard Tummy Tuck vs. Power Tuck

Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery offers two primary tummy tuck approaches: a standard abdominoplasty and the Power Tuck. The Power Tuck combines traditional tummy tuck techniques with flank liposuction for more comprehensive body contouring.

Procedure Details

Our tummy tuck procedure involves a low horizontal incision across the pubic area and hips. Surgeons lift the skin, tighten underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and carefully reposition the belly button for natural-looking results.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal tummy tuck candidates are near their target weight with excess skin and fat in the abdominal area. Both men and women can benefit from this transformative procedure.

Recovery Expectations

Patients typically require 10-14 days off work, with activity restrictions for 4 weeks. Expect initial tenderness, bruising, and swelling that gradually subsides during recovery.

Procedure Highlights

• Approximately 3-hour surgical time
• Board-certified plastic surgeons
• Customized surgical approach
• Advanced techniques for minimal scarring
