Understanding Abdominoplasty: A Comprehensive Body Contouring Solution

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to address loose or sagging abdominal wall skin and muscle relaxation. This condition frequently results from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or a combination of factors.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Optimal candidates for abdominoplasty typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Overall good health
• Non-smokers
• Stable body weight
• No plans for future pregnancies

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Dr. Daniel Casso performs abdominoplasty under general anesthesia at Houston Methodist St. John Hospital. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, with an incision strategically placed within the bikini line to minimize visible scarring.

Advanced Surgical Techniques in Houston

During the procedure, Dr. Casso utilizes precise techniques to:

• Remove excess lower abdominal skin and fat
• Tighten loose abdominal muscles with specialized sutures
• Potentially combine with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Patients typically experience a structured recovery process, including:

• Overnight hospital stay for expert nursing care
• Initial follow-up within 2-3 days post-surgery
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Complete healing and scar fading over several months

Specialized Considerations

Dr. Casso takes into account individual patient factors such as previous surgeries, pregnancy history, and weight loss experiences to customize the abdominoplasty approach.
