TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) IN FLOWOOD, MS | DR. WILLIAM NORTH, M.D.

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is an advanced
surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the
abdominal wall. This transformative technique helps patients achieve a
more refined and contoured midsection.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Runnels and North Outpatient Plastic Surgery Center specializes in
abdominoplasty for patients seeking significant improvements in their
abdominal appearance. Typical candidates include:

 	* Individuals with excess abdominal skin after significant weight
loss
	* Women experiencing post-pregnancy abdominal changes
	* Patients with weakened or separated abdominal muscles
	* Individuals maintaining a stable, healthy body weight

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

Patients should postpone abdominoplasty if they plan future
pregnancies or are actively losing weight. The procedure is most
successful when patients are near their target weight and committed to
maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

ABDOMINOPLASTY SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Dr. William North offers two primary abdominoplasty approaches:

 	* COMPLETE ABDOMINOPLASTY:
 	* MINI-ABDOMINOPLASTY:

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect a slimmer, more defined waistline following the
procedure. While scarring is inevitable, these marks typically fade
over time. Compression garments and careful post-operative care help
optimize healing and results.

LONG-TERM ABDOMINOPLASTY MAINTENANCE

The results of abdominoplasty are long-lasting but require personal
commitment. Patients should maintain a stable weight, follow a
balanced diet, and engage in regular exercise to preserve their
surgical outcomes.

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative
cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat
from the abdominal region. This advanced technique helps patients
achieve a flatter, more toned stomach by addressing loose skin that
diet and exercise cannot resolve.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Optimal candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include
individuals who have:

 	* Maintained a stable weight for at least one year
	* Stretch marks or loose skin on the abdomen
	* C-section scarring
	* Excess fat deposits in the lower abdominal region

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Dr. William North performs tummy tuck surgery under general
anesthesia. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and
fat between the navel and pubic hair, tightening abdominal connective
tissue with permanent sutures, and repositioning the navel for a
natural appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately six weeks.
During this time, Dr. North recommends avoiding strenuous activities
and using a supportive abdominal binder to optimize healing. Pain
management and careful post-operative care are essential for
successful results.

LONG-TERM RESULTS

Tummy tuck procedures offer permanent results when patients maintain a
stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. While a surgical scar is
inevitable, it will fade significantly over time, revealing a more
contoured and refined abdominal profile.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. North cautions against tummy tuck surgery for patients who:

 	* Plan future weight loss
	* Are considering pregnancy
	* Currently smoke
	* Have a body mass index over 30
	* Have severe chronic conditions
