Abdominoplasty Jacksonville, FL | Dr. Sofia K. Kirk, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Jacksonville

Dieting and exercise do not always achieve desired abdominal results. Genetic predisposition and stubborn stomach fat can obscure muscle definition, making surgical intervention beneficial. At Posh Plastic Surgery, patients receive comprehensive tummy tuck solutions tailored to individual body contouring needs.

The Benefits of Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery provides transformative aesthetic improvements for individuals experiencing:

• Post-pregnancy abdominal changes
• Significant weight loss with excess skin
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to traditional weight loss methods

Surgical Procedure Details

During abdominoplasty, Dr. Kirk performs a precise surgical approach involving:

• Hip-to-hip incision placement
• Excess skin and fat removal
• Muscle tissue reconstruction
• Navel repositioning

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Optimal candidates for abdominoplasty include patients who:

• Have completed major weight loss
• Are not planning future pregnancies
• Maintain stable body weight
• Have realistic surgical expectations

Procedure Considerations

Patients should understand that abdominoplasty is a comprehensive surgical procedure requiring careful planning and recovery. Consultation with Dr. Kirk will provide personalized insights into potential outcomes, healing processes, and individual surgical recommendations.

Recovery and Expectations

Typical tummy tuck surgery requires 2-3 weeks of full rest, with gradual return to light activities. Surgical scars are strategically placed to minimize visibility, typically concealed below the bikini line.
