Abdominoplasty Metairie, LA | New Orleans Plastic Surgery with Michelle Manning Eagan MD

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Loose skin and stubborn fat in the abdominal region can feel frustrating despite diet and exercise efforts. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging frequently impact a person's ability to achieve a tighter, slimmer tummy. A tummy tuck reshapes the stomach area, producing youthful-looking results and renewing patient confidence.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty in Metairie

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty effectively treats both women and men feeling self-conscious about loose abdominal skin or excess fat. Dr. Eagan recommends patients be at a healthy weight, understanding that the procedure is not a weight loss solution. For optimal results, patients should be past pregnancy and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Procedure Details

Tummy tuck surgery involves general anesthesia and carefully selected incision techniques based on individual skin laxity. Procedures range from full abdominoplasty to minimally invasive techniques, always involving excess skin excision and potential liposuction to achieve desired contouring.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment and gradually resuming normal activities. Patients can generally return to routine within two weeks, with full workout resumption around two months, pending Dr. Eagan's approval.

Procedure Considerations

• Average cost: $4,500 - $12,000
• Procedure time: 3-6 hours
• Recovery period: Approximately 2 weeks
