Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck in Tulsa, OK | Tulsa Surgical Arts

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Sagging skin and excess abdominal fat can feel frustrating, especially after significant weight loss, childbirth, or aging. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to tighten the stomach area and restore a more contoured physique. At Tulsa Surgical Arts, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina personalizes each tummy tuck to help patients achieve their desired body transformation.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck procedures are suitable for both men and women struggling with:

• Loose or hanging abdominal skin
• Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles

Key Candidate Considerations

Dr. Cuzalina recommends patients be at a stable weight before undergoing the procedure. Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring treatment focused on skin tightening and muscle repair.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Techniques

Tulsa Surgical Arts offers three primary tummy tuck techniques:

• Full Tummy Tuck:
• Mini Tummy Tuck:
• Extended Tummy Tuck:

Surgical Process and Recovery

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves skin removal, muscle tightening, and optional liposuction. Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery taking approximately eight weeks.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

Patients often experience:

• Improved body contour and silhouette
• Reduced skin chafing and irritation
• Enhanced physical comfort
• Increased self-confidence

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine tummy tuck with other body contouring procedures like liposuction or a mommy makeover for comprehensive results.
