TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) LEXINGTON, KY | THE CENTER FOR PLASTIC
SURGERY AND MED SPA: SANDRA BOUZAGLOU, MD, FACS

WHAT IS ABDOMINOPLASTY?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal
area while tightening underlying muscles. This treatment effectively
addresses stubborn abdominal fat resulting from significant weight
loss, multiple pregnancies, or genetic factors.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The abdominoplasty procedure involves a precise surgical approach to
body contouring. Dr. Sandra Bouzaglou performs the surgery using local
anesthesia and oral sedation, creating a horizontal incision along the
bikini line. The technique includes:

 	* Lifting and repairing weakened abdominal muscles
	* Removing excess fat and skin
	* Repositioning remaining skin for a smoother appearance
	* Creating a new belly button opening

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Candidates typically experience challenges such as:

 	* Substantial weight loss
	* Multiple childbirths
	* Cesarean section recovery
	* Reduced skin elasticity
	* Stretch marks below the belly button

COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS

The Center For Plastic Surgery and Med Spa offers comprehensive body
contouring solutions. Dr. Bouzaglou frequently combines abdominoplasty
with complementary procedures like liposuction to enhance overall
results. Patients can also explore combined treatments such as a
complete mommy makeover.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from abdominoplasty typically requires approximately six
weeks. Patients must wear an abdominal compression garment and avoid
strenuous activities to support proper healing. The duration may vary
depending on additional procedures performed simultaneously.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

While abdominoplasty provides transformative results, patients should
maintain realistic expectations and follow all post-operative
instructions carefully to ensure optimal outcomes.
