Abdominoplasty in Denver, CO | Andrew Wolfe, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) removes loose, sagging skin and excess fat while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result is a flatter, firmer abdomen and more contoured waistline.

Procedure Highlights

• 2-3 Hour Surgical Procedure
• Return to Work: 1-2 Weeks
• Advanced Surgical Techniques
• No-Drain Approach

Surgical Expertise

The Center for Cosmetic Surgery is a leading destination for tummy tuck patients throughout the Denver metro area, Colorado Springs, and Front Range region. The practice was the first in Colorado to adopt an innovative no-drain abdominoplasty approach.

Tummy Tuck Techniques

During the procedure, surgeons make a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen. The skin is carefully lifted, excess tissue is removed, and separated abdominal muscles are repaired using permanent sutures. The belly button is repositioned to create a natural, balanced appearance.

Advanced Surgical Approach

• Precise muscle repair
• Minimal scarring techniques
• Progressive tension sutures
• 72-hour post-operative pain management

Candidacy Considerations

Ideal tummy tuck candidates typically have:

• Excess abdominal skin and muscle laxity
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies by individual but generally follows this timeline:

• First week: Most challenging recovery period
• Two weeks: Potential return to work
• Six weeks: Full healing and exercise resumption

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine tummy tuck surgery with complementary procedures like liposuction or a mommy makeover to enhance overall body contouring results.
