Abdominoplasty Auburn, CA | Freed Plastic Surgery: Dr. Jonathan R. Freed

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the midsection while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result is a smoother, firmer abdominal contour that can dramatically improve body shape and confidence.

Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction: Choosing the Right Procedure

While liposuction effectively removes localized fat deposits, a tummy tuck offers a more comprehensive approach for patients with significant skin laxity or muscle separation. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced dramatic weight loss or multiple pregnancies.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

The best candidates for a tummy tuck typically share these characteristics:

• Maintain a generally healthy lifestyle
• Have stable body weight
• Are non-smokers
• Have attempted diet and exercise without achieving desired abdominal contours

Factors Contributing to Excess Abdominal Fat

Multiple factors can contribute to stubborn abdominal fat and loose skin, including:

• Genetic predisposition
• Natural aging process
• Pregnancy
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Certain medical conditions

Surgical Technique and Recovery

Dr. Freed utilizes advanced surgical techniques, including tailor tacking sutures and comprehensive liposuction, to achieve optimal results. Recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment and following specific post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing.
