TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) ALBANY, NY | MALCOLM Z. ROTH MD, FACS

WHAT IS ABDOMINOPLASTY?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative
surgical procedure designed to flatten and reshape the abdomen by
removing excess fat and skin while tightening underlying muscles.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

The most suitable candidates for a tummy tuck are individuals who:

 	* Are in good physical condition
	* Have stubborn fat or loose skin resistant to diet and exercise
	* Have experienced significant skin stretching from pregnancy

WHO SHOULD WAIT FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY?

Patients planning significant weight loss or additional pregnancies
should postpone this procedure to ensure optimal, long-lasting
results.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Malcolm Z. Roth MD, FACS performs abdominoplasty under general
anesthesia, typically taking 2 to 5 hours. The procedure involves:

 	* Two strategic incisions: hipbone to hipbone and around the navel
	* Separating skin from abdominal muscles
	* Tightening and suturing muscles for a firmer abdomen
	* Removing excess skin and repositioning the navel

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery time varies from 2 weeks to 2 months. Patients can expect a
low, discreet scar that can typically be concealed by swimwear.
Long-lasting results are maintained through consistent diet and
exercise.

POTENTIAL RISKS

Like all surgical procedures, abdominoplasty carries potential risks
including:

 	* Asymmetry
	* Scarring
	* Temporary skin sensation changes
	* Potential need for revision surgery

PANNICULECTOMY: A MEDICAL ALTERNATIVE

For patients with significant medical concerns, panniculectomy offers
a functional alternative focused on removing excess abdominal skin
that may interfere with daily activities.
