TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) OKLAHOMA | DR. MIKE E. GONCE, MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA CITY

A full tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed
to correct a protruding, loose, or sagging abdomen. The surgery
involves removing excess fat and loose skin, resulting in a flatter,
firmer stomach. Abdominal muscles weakened or separated due to weight
loss or pregnancy are surgically repaired during the procedure.

PROCEDURE DETAILS AND VARIATIONS

Abdominoplasty techniques vary depending on the degree of correction
needed. Two primary variations include:

 	* Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive procedure with a scar along the
belt line, above the pubic region, extending from hip to hip
	* Mini Tummy Tuck: Smaller incision with a shorter scar above the
pubic region, limited skin and fat removal

SURGICAL APPROACH AND EXPECTATIONS

During the procedure, the belly button remains intact, with a new
opening created for proper exposure. Liposuction to the hips or flanks
is often performed simultaneously to enhance body contouring results.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA

It is crucial to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss
solution. Ideal candidates are individuals who are at their ideal
weight, in good health, and have specific concerns about loose skin or
excess abdominal fat.

POST-SURGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Wear a compression garment for a minimum of four weeks
	* Support abdomen during recovery
	* Reduce post-surgical swelling

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The abdominoplasty procedure typically involves general anesthesia
administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Surgery duration
averages approximately two hours, with patients experiencing typical
post-operative sensations of tightness and mild discomfort.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* No physical exertion for two weeks post-surgery
	* Sleep with elevated head and knees supported
	* Avoid tanning for two weeks, protect scars for one year
