Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Sagging or loose skin around the abdomen is often an issue that won't resolve with regular diet and exercise. A tummy tuck procedure helps smooth and flatten the belly by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues and muscles.

Candidates for Tummy Tuck in Cornwall, NY

The tummy tuck is not a fat removal surgery but a procedure designed for tightening excess skin and tissue around the abdomen. Loose, sagging skin can occur due to several factors:

• Pregnancy
• Aging
• Massive weight loss

Procedure Details

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Fugo makes a horizontal incision below the pubic hairline. He repairs weakened abdominal muscles and removes excess tissue and skin. Liposuction may be used to eliminate excess fat, which will be discussed during the initial consultation.

Recovery and Healing

Patients can typically walk shortly after surgery, and light exercises may help expedite healing. Most patients require a few weeks of recovery before returning to normal routines. The surgical scar will fade over time and can be concealed beneath most bathing suits and underwear.
