Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Greer, SC | Carolina Plastic Surgery: John Lettieri, MD and Ashley Kerekes MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address loose or sagging abdominal wall skin. Patients typically seek this procedure when experiencing:

• Abnormal relaxation of anterior abdominal wall muscles
• Skin laxity following multiple pregnancies
• Inability to tighten abdominal muscles through exercise

Procedure Overview

The primary goal of a tummy tuck is to provide patients with a smoother, flatter abdominal contour. The surgical approach varies depending on individual patient needs and existing anatomical conditions.

Surgical Technique

Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. For less extensive procedures, mini-abdominoplasties can be conducted using sedation and local anesthesia. Most patients are able to return home on the same day of the procedure.

Key Considerations

Carolina Plastic Surgery specializes in personalized tummy tuck procedures that are tailored to each patient's unique body composition and aesthetic goals. The surgical technique focuses on muscle repair, skin removal, and comprehensive body contouring.
