ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) CULLMAN, AL | DR. MORGAN MARTIN, MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower
abdomen while tightening abdominal muscles. This comprehensive body
contouring technique creates an internal corset to repair diastasis
recti and restore abdominal wall strength.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

A tummy tuck can be performed in multiple variations depending on
patient needs:

 	* Standard abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin and fat removal
	* Extended abdominoplasty addressing wider areas of excess skin
	* Fleur de lis abdominoplasty with vertical and horizontal skin
removal
	* Mini abdominoplasty for limited lower abdominal correction

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

Patients typically seeking abdominoplasty include individuals
experiencing:

 	* Significant skin laxity after substantial weight loss
	* Muscle separation following multiple pregnancies
	* Inability to restore abdominal contour through diet and exercise
	* Desire to repair diastasis recti and improve core strength

liposuction to enhance overall body sculpting. The surgical approach

incontinence.
