ABDOMINOPLASTY EAST LANSING, MI | RICK J. SMITH, MD

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a sophisticated
surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the
abdominal region. This transformative surgery helps patients restore
their body's natural contours by tightening underlying muscles and
creating a smoother, more toned midsection.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

Tummy tuck surgery is most appropriate for individuals experiencing
stubborn abdominal changes due to various factors, including:

 	* Age-related loss of collagen fibers
	* Genetic predispositions
	* Post-pregnancy body changes
	* Significant weight loss

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The tummy tuck procedure typically takes between two and four hours
under general anesthesia. Dr. Rick J. Smith carefully makes an
incision along the lower abdomen, strategically placed to minimize
visible scarring. During the surgery, excess fat is removed,
underlying muscles are tightened, and loose skin is carefully trimmed.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial results immediately after surgery, though
bruising and swelling are common in the first few weeks. The final,
refined outcome becomes fully apparent after two to three months,
revealing a more sculpted and youthful abdominal profile.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

For comprehensive body contouring, tummy tuck surgery can be combined
with complementary procedures such as liposuction, thigh lift, or
buttocks lift to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic results.

PROCEDURE SPECIFICS

 	* Price Range: $9,200 - $17,000
	* Typical Age Range: 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s
	* Procedure Type: Body Contouring
