About Tummy Tuck Procedure

Tummy tuck surgery is an ideal solution for individuals maintaining a healthy lifestyle but struggling with excess abdominal fat and skin that does not respond to diet and exercise. Prime candidates include patients with stretched abdominal muscles, particularly women who have experienced multiple pregnancies.

Surgical Technique

The procedure typically involves a strategic incision along the abdomen, just above the pubic area. A full tummy tuck includes intricate steps to reshape and reconstruct the abdominal region:

• Separating the navel from surrounding skin
• Removing excess skin and fatty tissue
• Tightening underlying abdominal muscles
• Repositioning the navel for natural aesthetics

Recovery Process

Patients benefit from advanced recovery techniques, including a PainPump® that delivers continuous localized anesthetic. A supportive compression garment is recommended for six weeks to optimize healing and skin contraction.

Mini Tummy Tuck Options

For patients with limited excess skin in the lower abdomen, a mini tummy tuck offers a less invasive alternative. This procedure focuses on the area below the navel, removing excess skin and creating a more refined abdominal profile.

Complementary Procedures

Liposuction can be combined with tummy tuck surgery to enhance overall body contouring results, targeting excess fat on the hips and surrounding areas.

Recovery and Results

Recovery duration varies but typically spans approximately two weeks. Surgical scars will gradually fade, revealing immediate and desirable aesthetic improvements.
