TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) SOUTHLAKE, TX | JONATHAN HEISTEIN MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN SOUTHLAKE

Men and women with loose saggy stomach skin, stubborn abdominal fat,
and weakened muscles can benefit from abdominoplasty. This surgical
procedure, also known as a tummy tuck, provides a flatter and more
toned abdominal appearance.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

Abdominoplasty is a comprehensive surgical procedure that addresses
multiple abdominal concerns. The surgery typically involves:

 	* Tightening skin and underlying abdominal fascia
	* Removing excess skin and tissue
	* Repairing separated abdominal muscles
	* Potentially eliminating stretch marks

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Patients considering abdominoplasty should be at or near their ideal
body weight with realistic expectations. Common candidates include
individuals who have:

 	* Experienced significant weight loss
	* Undergone multiple pregnancies
	* Hereditary abdominal skin laxity

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Jonathan Heistein carefully places incisions below the bikini
line, typically extending from hip to hip. The procedure removes skin
between the belly button and pubic area, often requiring specialized
suturing techniques to create an internal corset-like effect.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

Abdominoplasty recovery generally requires two to three weeks before
resuming normal activities. Patients should anticipate some initial
swelling and bruising, with full restrictions on strenuous activities
lasting approximately four weeks.

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

Each abdominoplasty is customized to the patient's specific anatomical
needs. Depending on individual body composition, supplementary
procedures like liposuction might be recommended to achieve optimal
results.

IMPORTANT PATIENT GUIDELINES

 	* Maintain stable body weight post-surgery
	* Avoid smoking before and after the procedure
	* Follow all post-operative instructions carefully
