ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) EDINA, MN | DAVID F. RUEBECK, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to improve the contour and tone of the lower
abdomen. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed below
the belly button, and abdominal muscles can be tightened to restore a
more sculpted appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Patients may be excellent candidates for a tummy tuck if they have
experienced:

 	* Significant weight loss resulting in excess abdominal skin
	* Post-pregnancy changes causing stretched muscles and skin
	* Persistent lower abdominal skin laxity unresponsive to diet and
exercise

SURGICAL DETAILS AND RECOVERY

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia,
typically allowing patients to return home the same day. Recovery
involves a gradual reduction of tightness and discomfort over 7-10
days, with restrictions on strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Patients can expect a long curved scar along the lower abdomen, just
above the pubic area, and potentially a scar around the belly button.
These scars typically lighten and become less prominent over 6-12
months.

IMPORTANT PATIENT QUALIFICATIONS

Candidates for abdominoplasty must be in overall good health and
currently non-smokers to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and
recovery.

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a specialized surgical procedure

abdominal contour.

	* Tighten excess skin, reducing stretch marks
	* Repair muscular weakness and potential umbilical hernias

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

contouring and patient safety.

	* Hip-to-hip incision below underwear line
	* Muscular correction and hernia repair as needed

	* Drain removal typically 8 days after surgery
	* Return to desk work approximately 8 days post-drain removal
	* Full physical activity resumption at 6 weeks

CANDIDACY AND CONSIDERATIONS

with excess skin unresponsive to diet and exercise. A maximum BMI of
35 is recommended, with further weight loss potentially suggested for
patients between BMI 30-35.

MINI TUMMY TUCK PLYMOUTH, MN | SAPPHIRE ADVANCED AESTHETICS: LESLIE
SMITH, D.O.

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK IN PLYMOUTH

Loose abdominal skin is a common concern for many patients,
particularly those who have experienced significant weight loss or
childbirth. Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics offers an innovative solution
through the Avelar Tummy Tuck, a less invasive mini tummy tuck
procedure combined with advanced liposuction techniques.

THE AVELAR TUMMY TUCK TECHNIQUE

Dr. Leslie Smith has developed a unique approach to mini tummy tuck
procedures that distinguishes her from other cosmetic practitioners in
the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. By combining Tickle Liposuction
with the mini tummy tuck, Dr. Smith achieves exceptional results with
minimal recovery time.

KEY BENEFITS OF THE MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Performed while patient is awake, eliminating general anesthesia
risks
	* Smaller, more discreet incision compared to traditional
abdominoplasty
	* Utilizes Tickle Lipo to thin the abdominal wall and enhance
contouring
	* Faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The mini tummy tuck focuses exclusively on the lower abdomen,
maintaining the natural belly button position. Dr. Smith begins by
using Tickle Lipo to remove excess fat, then carefully trims and
tightens the remaining skin through a strategically placed incision.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Most patients return to work within 5-7 days, experiencing minimal
discomfort. The procedure results are immediately visible and continue
to improve over the following 3-6 months. Scarring is typically
minimal and located along the bikini line.

IS A MINI TUMMY TUCK RIGHT FOR YOU?

Ideal candidates are individuals with localized lower abdominal skin
laxity who are close to their target body weight. The procedure is
particularly effective for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking
improvements without extensive surgical intervention.

CUSTOMIZED APPROACH

Pricing and specific techniques are tailored to each patient's unique
body composition and aesthetic goals. Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics
offers competitive pricing and interest-free financing options to make
the procedure accessible.

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can contribute to excess fat and
sagging skin around the midsection. When diet and exercise won't
eliminate these issues, a tummy tuck – or abdominoplasty – can
strengthen, tighten, and smooth the abdomen.

 	* Create a flatter, more toned abdomen
	* Eliminate resistant fat and excess skin
	* Boost self-confidence
	* Restore abdominal muscle integrity

using a precise, multi-step approach:

 	* Anesthesia administration
	* Strategic incision placement
	* Excess tissue and fat removal

CANDIDACY REQUIREMENTS

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect gradual improvement, with initial results visible
after six weeks. Full recovery typically occurs within six months,

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Peng emphasizes that abdominoplasty is an enhancement procedure,
not a weight loss solution. Patients should be near their goal weight
and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

PROCEDURE CUSTOMIZATION

tailoring the procedure to each patient's specific aesthetic goals and
anatomical needs.
