Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is an elective surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region. This transformative cosmetic surgery helps patients achieve a slimmer, more toned stomach profile that diet and exercise cannot accomplish alone.

Procedure Goals and Benefits

The primary objectives of a tummy tuck include:

• Removing stubborn excess skin and fat
• Tightening abdominal muscles
• Improving overall body contours
• Enhancing clothing fit and personal confidence

Surgical Technique

Dr. Wermeling performs tummy tuck procedures with precision, typically involving strategic incisions to remove and reshape abdominal tissues. The procedure is conducted under anesthesia, with careful consideration of individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a tummy tuck generally spans two to four weeks. Patients receive comprehensive post-operative instructions, including guidance on activity restrictions and wound care to ensure optimal healing and results.

Complementary Procedures
