Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Greensboro, NY | Dr. Mary Ann C. Contogiannis, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, comprehensively rejuvenates the abdomen for a slimmer, firmer, and more youthful aesthetic. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mary Ann Contogiannis customizes each procedure to achieve stunning, long-lasting results.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. The surgery tightens abdominal walls, creating a firmer, flatter appearance. Often, liposuction can be incorporated to sculpt the belly, flanks, and surrounding areas for enhanced body contours.

Procedure Types

• Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive abdominal reshaping
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Targeted lower abdomen correction

Key Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Enhanced self-confidence and body image
• Stronger, tighter abdominal muscles
• Improved posture and body contours
• Potential reduction in stress-related urinary issues

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with excess abdominal fat and skin. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals post-pregnancy or after significant weight loss. A personalized consultation with Dr. Contogiannis will determine your specific surgical approach.

Procedure and Recovery

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Recovery varies by individual but typically involves minimal downtime. Patients can usually return to non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks.

Cost Considerations

The average tummy tuck cost ranges around $8,174, though precise pricing depends on individual treatment plans. Financing options are available through Alphaeon® and CareCredit® to help make the procedure more accessible.
