Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Huntington, WV

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedure

A tummy tuck is a specialized surgical procedure designed to contour the abdominal area by removing excess fat and skin. It is important to recognize that this is not a weight loss solution, but rather a body contouring technique for patients near their ideal body weight.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Targets excess abdominal fat and skin
• Provides foundational body reshaping
• Not a weight loss procedure

Common Causes of Abdominal Skin and Fat Accumulation

Multiple factors contribute to the need for a tummy tuck procedure:

• Hereditary predisposition
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Natural aging processes
• Post-pregnancy body changes
• Previous surgical interventions

Important Considerations

Patients should understand that a tummy tuck will not eliminate stretch marks unless they are within the area of surgical intervention. Optimal results require patients to be at a stable body weight prior to the procedure.

Procedure Goals and Expectations

The primary objective of a tummy tuck is to create a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile by removing redundant skin and fat. This surgical approach helps patients establish a foundation for achieving their ideal body aesthetic.
