Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Little Rock

Body changes from pregnancy, weight loss, or aging can significantly impact abdominal appearance. Many patients struggle with stretched skin, stubborn fat deposits, and muscle separation that diet and exercise cannot resolve.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to flatten and reshape the abdominal area. The procedure involves:

• Removing excess skin and fat
• Tightening weakened abdominal muscles
• Improving overall body contour

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Dr. Wright recommends tummy tuck surgery for individuals who:

• Are in good overall health
• Maintain a stable body weight
• Have realistic surgical expectations
• Are not planning future pregnancies

Surgical Procedure Details

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Wright carefully makes strategic incisions to remove excess skin and tighten underlying muscles. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia and can be customized to each patient's specific anatomical needs.

Combining Procedures

Tummy tuck surgery can be effectively combined with complementary procedures like liposuction to enhance overall body contouring results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a tummy tuck requires careful management. Patients can expect initial discomfort and will need to follow post-operative instructions closely. Most individuals return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking several months.
