TUMMY TUCK ABDOMINOPLASTY ROCKVILLE, MD | MICHAEL P VINCENT MD FACS

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical
procedure designed to flatten and reshape the abdomen by removing
excess skin and fat while tightening underlying muscles. This
procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing
abdominal changes due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR TUMMY TUCK?

 	* Individuals with persistent abdominal fat and loose skin resistant
to diet and exercise
	* Patients with weakened or separated abdominal muscles
	* Those at a stable weight with realistic expectations
	* Non-smokers in good overall health
	* Individuals who have completed childbearing

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE OPTIONS

FULL ABDOMINOPLASTY

A comprehensive approach involving incisions across the lower abdomen
and around the navel. This technique allows for extensive skin
removal, muscle tightening, and comprehensive body contouring.

MINI ABDOMINOPLASTY

A less invasive option targeting the lower abdomen with a smaller
incision. Ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity below the navel
seeking subtle improvements.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The tummy tuck procedure involves carefully planned incisions,
strategic muscle repair, and precise skin repositioning. Dr. Vincent
utilizes advanced techniques to minimize scarring and optimize
aesthetic outcomes.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery typically spans several weeks, with patients experiencing
gradual improvement in abdominal contour. Most individuals can return
to normal activities within 4-6 weeks, with final results becoming
apparent after several months.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Surgical risks associated with anesthesia
	* Potential for scarring
	* Temporary changes in skin sensation
	* Possibility of revision surgery

MAINTAINING YOUR TUMMY TUCK RESULTS

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.
