TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) IN ORANGE COUNTY

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure
performed by Dr. J.B. Fisher to remove excess skin and fat from the
abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles. This procedure can
dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen, but it
does produce a permanent scar that may extend from hip to hip
depending on the extent of the surgery.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

The best candidates for a tummy tuck are:

	* Men or women in relatively good shape
	* Those bothered by large fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that
doesn't respond to diet or exercise
	* Women who have stretched abdominal muscles and skin from multiple
pregnancies
	* Older patients with loss of skin elasticity, often occurring with
slight obesity

THE TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

Dr. Fisher's tummy tuck procedure typically involves:

	* A 2-5 hour surgery time for complete abdominoplasty
	* An incision made just above the pubic area
	* Separation of skin from the abdominal wall
	* Tightening of abdominal muscles
	* Removal of excess skin
	* Repositioning of the navel
	* Closure of incisions and application of dressings

TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY

After your abdominoplasty with Dr. Fisher:

	* Expect some swelling and discomfort for the first few days
	* Pain can be controlled with medication
	* Hospital stay may be required for 2-3 days depending on the extent
of surgery
	* Walking is encouraged as soon as possible
	* Surface stitches are removed in 5-7 days
	* Deeper sutures come out in 2-3 weeks
	* A support garment may replace the initial dressing
