Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Flowood, MS | Dr. William North, M.D.

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is an advanced surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal wall. This transformative technique helps patients achieve a more refined and contoured midsection.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Runnels and North Outpatient Plastic Surgery Center specializes in abdominoplasty for patients seeking significant improvements in their abdominal appearance. Typical candidates include:

• Individuals with excess abdominal skin after significant weight loss
• Women experiencing post-pregnancy abdominal changes
• Patients with weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Individuals maintaining a stable, healthy body weight

Procedure Considerations

Patients should postpone abdominoplasty if they plan future pregnancies or are actively losing weight. The procedure is most successful when patients are near their target weight and committed to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

Abdominoplasty Surgical Techniques

Dr. William North offers two primary abdominoplasty approaches:

• Complete Abdominoplasty:
• Mini-Abdominoplasty:

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a slimmer, more defined waistline following the procedure. While scarring is inevitable, these marks typically fade over time. Compression garments and careful post-operative care help optimize healing and results.

Long-Term Abdominoplasty Maintenance

The results of abdominoplasty are long-lasting but require personal commitment. Patients should maintain a stable weight, follow a balanced diet, and engage in regular exercise to preserve their surgical outcomes.
