Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Jasper, TN | Dr. Carey J. Nease Sr, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

After significant weight loss or pregnancy, excess abdominal skin can create persistent aesthetic concerns. A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, provides a surgical solution for patients seeking abdominal refinement.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue while tightening abdominal wall muscles. The result is a tighter, more contoured abdomen. Patients should understand that this procedure is a body sculpting technique, not a weight loss treatment, and is most effective for individuals already at or near their ideal weight.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

• Removes excess abdominal skin
• Tightens underlying muscle structure
• Improves abdominal contour
• Targets area from above belly button to pubic hairline

Tummy Tuck Procedure Costs

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Flatter, more defined stomach
• Improved posture
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Potential relief from stress urinary incontinence
• Stronger abdominal muscle structure

Recovery Expectations

Tummy tuck recovery requires patience and careful adherence to post-operative instructions. Patients typically need six weeks of restricted activity, including avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. A supportive binder will be worn during initial healing, and drainage tubes may be temporarily placed.
