ABDOMINOPLASTY IN CHARLESTON, SC | SWEETGRASS PLASTIC SURGERY SPA

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

Sometimes diet and exercise cannot eliminate stubborn abdominal fat
and excess skin. Tummy tuck procedures offer a comprehensive solution
for individuals seeking a more toned, contoured midsection. Sweetgrass
Plastic Surgery specializes in abdominoplasty treatments for patients
throughout Charleston County, including Nexton, Mt Pleasant, Daniel
Island, and West Ashley.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is an advanced body
contouring procedure targeting both upper and lower abdominal areas.
During the procedure, surgeons remove excess fat and skin, creating a
more refined and toned midsection. This surgical approach provides
more dramatic results compared to mini tummy tucks or traditional
liposuction.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Tummy tuck procedures are most effective for individuals who:

 	* Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
	* Have significant excess skin and fat in the abdominal region
	* Have disproportionate midsection compared to overall body
composition
	* Have undergone significant weight loss
	* Are seeking post-pregnancy body restoration

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery's tummy tuck procedure involves precise
surgical techniques. Surgeons carefully make one to two incisions,
typically near the pubic bone and around the belly button. Excess
tissue is removed, and remaining skin is tightly repositioned to
create a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile.

BENEFITS OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

Patients can expect comprehensive body transformation through tummy
tuck procedures, potentially experiencing:

 	* Dramatic reduction in abdominal fat and skin
	* Enhanced body contours
	* Potential reduction of 1-2 clothing sizes
	* Improved body proportions
	* Increased self-confidence

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Tummy tuck procedure costs vary depending on individual treatment
requirements. Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery offers personalized
consultations to discuss specific treatment plans, associated
expenses, and available payment options.

ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) IN CHARLESTON, SC | CRANTFORD COSTA
PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

For many women and men, the abdomen is the most challenging area to
maintain. Despite diet and exercise, stubborn fat deposits and sagging
skin can persist. A tummy tuck offers an effective body contouring
solution to transform abdominal aesthetics.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat while potentially
repairing separated abdominal muscles. This comprehensive approach
creates firmer, more youthful midsection contours.

CONDITIONS ADDRESSED BY TUMMY TUCK

 	* Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
	* Skin laxity around waist and abdomen
	* Stretch marks from pregnancy or weight fluctuations
	* Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
	* Protruding stomach despite achieving goal weight

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically
takes 3-4 hours. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat,
potentially tightening abdominal muscles, and repositioning remaining
skin for enhanced contours.

PROCEDURE STEPS

 	* Anesthesia administration
	* Strategic incision placement
	* Excess tissue removal
	* Muscle repair (if necessary)
	* Skin redraping and closure

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect to return to work within 10 days, with full
recovery occurring around 6-8 weeks. Results include a firmer, flatter
abdomen with improved body proportions.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Optimal tummy tuck candidates are individuals in good physical
condition with realistic expectations. The procedure is designed for
body contouring, not primary weight loss.

PROCEDURE VARIATIONS

Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery offers traditional and mini tummy tuck
options, tailored to individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

Patients often combine tummy tuck with complementary procedures like
liposuction or breast surgeries to achieve comprehensive body
transformation.
