ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) IN CHEVY CHASE, MD | DR. DAVID S. KUNG, MD

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

Life events such as pregnancy and significant weight loss can create
loose skin and weakened muscles in the midsection. When standard
exercise routines fail to restore body contours, a tummy tuck
procedure offers a comprehensive solution for abdominal
reconstruction.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

Abdominoplasty, the medical term for a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to:

 	* Tighten stretched abdominal muscles
	* Remove excess loose skin
	* Eliminate small amounts of stubborn fat
	* Restore a more toned and youthful abdominal profile

SURGICAL APPROACH IN CHEVY CHASE

Dr. Kung performs tummy tuck surgeries with meticulous precision,
focusing on discreet incision placement along the lower abdomen or
bikini line. The procedure typically takes three to four hours and
involves comprehensive muscle realignment and skin removal.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Patients experiencing muscle separation (diastasis) or persistent skin
laxity after weight changes are prime candidates. The procedure is
particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to restore their
pre-pregnancy body or achieve a more contoured physique.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During the tummy tuck, Dr. Kung carefully re-tightens abdominal
muscles and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more defined
midsection. When combined with liposuction, the procedure can provide
comprehensive body contouring results.

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING IN CHEVY CHASE, MD

While a tummy tuck effectively addresses muscle and skin concerns, it
is not a weight loss procedure. Patients with significant fat
accumulation may benefit from preliminary liposuction treatments to
optimize overall results.

DC BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A loose, flabby belly does not necessarily indicate being out of
shape. Sometimes, despite diligent diet and exercise, stubborn fat
deposits and loose skin in the abdomen resist improvement. Pregnancy,
significant weight loss, and aging can contribute to abdominal muscle
and skin changes.

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
restore the abdomen to a firm, smooth appearance. The surgery removes
excess fat and skin, tightens separated or weakened stomach muscles,
and creates a firmer, flatter, and more attractive abdominal profile.

BENEFITS OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

 	* Tighter stomach muscles
	* Flatter belly contour
	* Elimination of loose, sagging skin
	* Reduction of bulging lower abdomen
