Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as tummy tuck surgery, is a transformative plastic surgery procedure designed to eliminate excess skin and repair weakened abdominal muscles. For individuals struggling with loose skin from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging, this surgical technique offers a comprehensive solution to body contouring.

Key Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Eliminate loose, hanging abdominal skin
• Repair separated abdominal muscles
• Reduce localized fat deposits
• Improve overall abdominal contour
• Potentially reduce stress urinary incontinence

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Dr. Fiala offers three primary tummy tuck techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Mini Tummy Tuck: Limited correction for lower abdomen
• Standard Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive muscle and skin repair
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Maximum skin removal for significant laxity

Ideal Candidates

Optimal candidates are healthy adults near their ideal body weight with realistic expectations. Patients should be non-smokers committed to maintaining results through diet and exercise.

Surgical Approach in Altamonte Springs

Tummy tuck procedures are performed in the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under general anesthesia. Dr. Fiala utilizes advanced techniques like ultrasound-guided TAP block to minimize post-operative discomfort and enhance recovery.

Recovery and Results

Most patients require approximately two weeks of recovery, with gradual return to full physical activities. Results are long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Combination Procedures

Tummy tucks can be combined with liposuction or incorporated into a comprehensive Mommy Makeover, providing patients with more extensive body contouring options.
