ABDOMINOPLASTY MIDLOTHIAN, VA | DR. STEPHEN CHEN

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical
procedure designed to create a smoother, tighter abdomen. At Dr.
Stephen Chen's practice in Midlothian and Richmond, Virginia, patients
can achieve a more contoured midsection that diet and exercise alone
cannot accomplish.

BENEFITS OF TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

 	* More comfortable clothing fit
	* Repair of abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
	* Removal of excess skin and stretch marks
	* Enhanced body confidence and improved contours

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Chen performs tummy tucks under general anesthesia, typically
taking 2-4 hours. The procedure involves a carefully placed incision
along the lower pubic area, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Using
advanced techniques, Dr. Chen lifts and tightens loose abdominal skin,
repairs separated muscles, and reshapes the midsection.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Lower incision hidden beneath bikini line
	* Potential liposuction for fat removal
	* Muscle repair and skin tightening
	* Precise belly button repositioning

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure with a structured recovery
process. Patients can expect initial soreness and swelling, managed
through medications and compression garments. Most individuals return
to work within 10-14 days, with full recovery requiring 3-6 weeks of
limited physical activity.

RECOVERY CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Compression garment for healing support
	* Pain management with prescribed medications
	* Gradual return to normal activities
	* Follow-up appointments for monitoring

PATIENT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates are near their target weight and seeking to address
loose skin or muscle separation that cannot be resolved through
traditional fitness methods. A comprehensive consultation with Dr.
Chen will determine individual suitability for the procedure.
