Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Great Neck, NY

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to reshape and renew the abdominal area. The technique involves artfully trimming excess skin and repairing underlying muscles to create a slimmer, tighter, and natural-looking figure.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Dr. Leipziger recommends tummy tuck surgery for patients experiencing:

• Loose or sagging areas of abdominal skin
• Stretched abdominal muscles causing a "belly pooch" appearance
• Stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen

Causes of Abdominal Changes

Significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural aging can cause skin and abdominal wall muscles to stretch, losing their elasticity. Traditional diet and exercise often cannot fully address these structural changes.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Dr. Leipziger treats each tummy tuck as a unique case, carefully assessing individual anatomy and body contouring goals. Depending on patient needs, he may recommend a full or mini tummy tuck procedure.

Surgical Considerations

• Procedure performed under general anesthesia
• Potential overnight hospital stay
• Customized to individual patient requirements

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a comprehensive recovery process, including:

• Compression garment application
• Initial healing period of approximately two weeks
• Gradual reduction of surgical site appearance
