UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY IN OAKLAND COUNTY

Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can leave you with an
abdomen that resists traditional diet and exercise. A tummy tuck
surgery can help restore your slimmer, flatter abdominal contour by
tightening weakened muscles and removing excess skin and fat.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
rejuvenate the abdominal area. This customized treatment removes
excess skin and stubborn fat while tightening underlying muscles to
create a leaner, more defined abdomen.

KEY BENEFITS OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

 	* Removes excess skin and fat
	* Addresses stretch marks below the belly button
	* Repairs muscle separation
	* Improves overall body contour

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR TUMMY TUCK IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS?

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who:

 	* Are at a stable, healthy weight
	* Have realistic expectations
	* Are non-smokers
	* Have completed childbearing
	* Desire improved abdominal contours

With over 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Lofman provides
personalized tummy tuck procedures tailored to each patient's unique
body and aesthetic goals. His commitment to patient care and surgical
excellence makes him a leading plastic surgeon in Michigan.

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE DETAILS

During your abdominoplasty, Dr. Lofman will carefully remove excess
skin and fat, re-drape the remaining skin, and tighten underlying
muscles. The procedure typically takes approximately three hours and
is performed under general anesthesia.

weight through consistent diet and exercise. Dr. Lofman recommends a
healthy lifestyle to preserve the enhanced abdominal contours achieved

ABDOMINOPLASTY IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI | ELLEN JANETZKE

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical
procedure designed to create a flatter, more contoured abdominal
profile. This procedure is ideal for individuals with excess,
protruding abdominal tissue seeking to slim and reshape their
midsection.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A TUMMY TUCK?

Dr. Ellen performs tummy tuck surgery for both men and women in the
Detroit metropolitan area, including Bloomfield Hills, Royal Oak, West
Bloomfield, and Rochester Hills. Ideal candidates typically
experience:

 	* Sagging skin on the midsection
	* Protruding abdomen
	* Stretched abdominal muscles

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

A standard tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure lasting approximately
two and a half hours. Dr. Ellen creates an incision across the lower
abdomen, strategically placed to be concealed beneath the bikini line.
The procedure varies based on individual patient needs:

 	* Mini Tummy Tuck: Targets excess skin below the belly button
	* Full Tummy Tuck: Addresses sagging skin from bikini line to belly
button
	* Extended Tummy Tuck: Includes lower back area, with incisions
extending beyond hipbones

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Tummy tuck surgery is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring
procedure. Patients should maintain a stable, healthy body weight and
be non-smokers. The surgery is most effective for individuals who have
already achieved significant weight loss and seek to refine their
body's silhouette.

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Dr. Ellen often combines tummy tuck with complementary procedures like
liposuction to create smoother, more comprehensive body contouring
results. Patients with massive weight loss may also benefit from
additional lift procedures for the breasts, thighs, back, and arms.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves limited activities for several weeks,
with patients expected to walk shortly after the procedure. Dr. Ellen
provides personalized follow-up care, monitoring healing progress and
providing specific recovery instructions.
