TUMMY TUCK IN ANN ARBOR, MI | PIERRE LAPAINE MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN MICHIGAN

Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive tummy tuck procedures
designed to reshape and restore the abdominal region. Whether you're
experiencing post-pregnancy changes or significant weight loss,
abdominoplasty provides a transformative solution for body contouring.

BENEFITS OF TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

 	* Tightening and repair of abdominal muscles
	* Removal of excess abdominal skin and fat
	* Improved core strength and posture
	* Enhanced body proportions

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

A tummy tuck involves a low horizontal incision across the pubic area,
allowing surgeons to lift and redrape skin, remove excess tissue, and
suture underlying muscles. The procedure creates a smoother, more
contoured abdominal profile.

STANDARD TUMMY TUCK VS. POWER TUCK

Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery offers two primary abdominoplasty options:

 	* Standard Tummy Tuck: Focuses on skin and muscle tightening
	* Power Tuck: Combines abdominoplasty with flank liposuction for
comprehensive body contouring

CANDIDACY AND CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates are near their target weight with excess abdominal
skin and weakened muscles. Patients should be in good overall health
and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Typical recovery takes 4-6 weeks, with patients gradually resuming
normal activities. Most individuals can return to work within 10-14
days, depending on the extent of the procedure.

KEY SURGICAL OUTCOMES

 	* Natural, well-positioned belly button
	* Low, minimally visible surgical scar
	* Improved abdominal muscle structure
