Advanced Tummy Tuck Dothan, AL | Dr. Scott Asher

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the abdominal area. The Southern Institute of Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive tummy tuck solutions for patients seeking a flatter, more defined stomach profile.

Procedure Benefits

• Removes excess skin and fat
• Tightens weakened abdominal muscles
• Improves body contour and silhouette
• Enhances overall physical appearance

Surgical Process

The tummy tuck procedure typically involves general anesthesia and takes two to five hours. Surgeons create strategic incisions to remove excess tissue and tighten underlying muscles, creating a smoother, more refined abdominal area.

Candidate Qualifications

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck include individuals who:

• Have stable body weight
• Possess excess abdominal skin
• Have weakened abdominal muscles
• Are in good overall health

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a tummy tuck varies by individual but typically requires two to six weeks. Patients can expect gradual improvement in abdominal contours, with final results becoming more apparent as healing progresses.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, tummy tucks carry potential risks including infection, scarring, and prolonged healing. The Southern Institute of Plastic Surgery ensures comprehensive pre-operative consultations to minimize complications and optimize outcomes.

Procedure Options

• Full Abdominoplasty
• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Extended Abdominoplasty
