Abdominoplasty in Portland, OR | Sean McNally, MD, PhD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Loose skin or excess abdominal fat can be challenging, especially after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic enhancement designed to redefine the stomach area and produce attractive, transformative results for patients in Portland, OR.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery offers multiple advantages for individuals seeking body contouring:

• Removes excess fat and sagging skin from the abdomen
• Strengthens core muscle structure
• Improves overall body posture and stability
• Potentially alleviates back discomfort
• Can improve hernia and urinary incontinence symptoms

Surgical Techniques

Dr. McNally performs abdominoplasty using general anesthesia, selecting incision techniques based on individual patient needs. Procedures range from full tummy tucks (hip bone to hip bone) to less invasive approaches for minimal skin laxity.

Candidacy for Abdominoplasty in Portland

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have maintained a stable weight
• Possess realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Are in good overall health
• Have excess abdominal skin or weakened muscles

Recovery and Expectations

Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect to wear a compression garment and gradually resume normal activities. Most individuals return to light activities within two weeks, with full recovery and exercise permissions typically granted around two months post-surgery.

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Dr. McNally offers personalized abdominoplasty procedures that can be combined with other body contouring techniques like liposuction or mommy makeover surgeries to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
