Abdominoplasty in Stoneham, MD | Jonathan Hall, MD, FACS

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Factors contributing to these concerns include aging, pregnancy, genetics, prior surgeries, and significant weight fluctuations.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Candidates for abdominoplasty in Stoneham, Massachusetts, are healthy men and women seeking to improve their abdominal appearance. Key considerations include:

• Maintaining a stable body weight
• Being a non-smoker
• Having realistic surgical expectations
• Understanding that abdominoplasty is not a weight loss solution

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Jonathan Hall performs abdominoplasty with precision, creating a horizontal incision between the belly button and pubic hairline. This strategic placement ensures the resulting scar can be easily concealed by swimwear or underwear.

Surgical Technique

During the procedure, Dr. Hall will:

• Lift loose skin
• Tighten weakened abdominal muscles
• Remove excess fat
• Create a natural body contour

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort, managed through prescribed medication. A compression garment helps minimize swelling and support adjusted tissues. Activity restrictions will be outlined to ensure proper healing.

Long-Term Abdominoplasty Outcomes

Abdominoplasty results are permanent, though significant weight fluctuations can impact surgical outcomes. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight and postpone surgery if planning substantial weight loss or future pregnancies.
