Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and flatten the abdominal region. Multiple factors can impact abdominal appearance, including pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

The best candidates for abdominoplasty typically have:

• Loose, redundant skin in the lower abdominal wall
• Stretched abdominal muscles, especially post-pregnancy
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Surgical Procedure Details

New England Plastic Surgical Associates performs comprehensive abdominoplasty involving:

• Removal of excess lower abdominal fat and skin
• Tightening of deeper abdominal muscles
• Strategic liposuction of surrounding areas

Tummy Tuck Techniques

Multiple abdominoplasty variations exist, including classic and mini-tummy tuck procedures. The specific technique depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Post-Pregnancy Considerations

Many women experience diastasis recti, a separation of abdominal muscles after pregnancy. Abdominoplasty can effectively repair and tighten these muscles, restoring pre-pregnancy abdominal contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically require one to two weeks of recovery, with full activity resumption around six weeks. Surgical scars are strategically placed along the bikini line and fade significantly over time.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, abdominoplasty carries potential risks such as infection, bleeding, and anesthesia complications. Comprehensive pre-operative consultations help mitigate these risks.

Cost Considerations

Tummy tuck pricing varies based on individual treatment complexity. Personalized consultations provide accurate cost estimates and potential financing options.
