Detroit Tummy Tuck Surgery: Comprehensive Abdominal Reshaping

A Tummy Tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the abdominal area. At Chau Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons specialize in advanced body contouring techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.

Understanding Abdominal Changes and Indications

Significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging can dramatically alter the abdominal region. Common issues include:

• Loose, stretched skin
• Weakened abdominal muscles
• Diastasis recti (muscle separation)
• Stubborn fat deposits

Tummy Tuck Procedure Types

Chau Plastic Surgery offers multiple abdominoplasty techniques to address diverse patient needs:

• Traditional Tummy Tuck
• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck
• 360-Degree Body Lift

Surgical Approach in the Metro Detroit Area

Each tummy tuck procedure is meticulously planned to provide natural-looking results. The surgical approach involves precise incisions, muscle repair, and skin removal to create a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Candidates typically include individuals who:

• Are within 10-15 pounds of their ideal body weight
• Have realistic expectations
• Are in good overall health
• Have maintained a stable weight for 6-12 months

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery varies by procedure type but generally involves limited movement, wearing compression garments, and following specific post-operative instructions. Patients can expect gradual improvement in abdominal contour over several months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, tummy tucks carry potential risks such as infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Chau Plastic Surgery prioritizes patient safety through comprehensive pre-surgical assessments and personalized care.
