ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OK | JONES PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY: A COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING SOLUTION

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and
lower abdomen while tightening abdominal wall muscles. The procedure
can dramatically improve the appearance of a protruding abdomen,
creating a smoother and more enhanced body contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

The best candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who are:

 	* In relatively good physical shape and health
	* Bothered by persistent abdominal fat deposits
	* Experiencing loose abdominal skin unresponsive to diet and exercise
	* Seeking to address stretched abdominal muscles, often
post-pregnancy

PROCEDURE TYPES AND CUSTOMIZATION

Jones Plastic Surgery offers multiple abdominoplasty techniques
tailored to individual patient needs. Options range from full
abdominoplasty, involving a horizontal incision at the panty line and
around the belly button, to mini abdominoplasty with a shorter
incision at the pubic hairline.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOVERY

Surgical duration typically ranges from one to three hours, depending
on the specific procedure. Patients can expect initial recovery
involving swelling and managed pain, with most returning to work
within 2-3 weeks for full abdominoplasty and approximately one week
for mini procedures.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Recovery involves wearing a compression garment for 6-10 weeks, which
helps protect the abdomen and speed healing. Light activity is
encouraged to reduce postoperative complications while avoiding
excessive strain.

IMPORTANT PATIENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Dr. Jones recommends patients be near their ideal weight and postpone
surgery if planning significant weight loss or future pregnancies.
Each patient receives a comprehensive consultation discussing
individual goals, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

CITY PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a
sophisticated body contouring procedure that removes excess fat and
skin while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The
result is a smoother, firmer abdominal profile that diet and exercise
cannot always achieve.

COMMON REASONS FOR TUMMY TUCK

Patients in Oklahoma City seek abdominoplasty for various reasons,
including:

 	* Excess abdominal skin following pregnancy
	* Significant weight loss with remaining loose skin
	* Stretched stomach muscles
	* Desire for a more proportionate body contour

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The tummy tuck procedure involves strategic surgical steps designed to
reshape and tighten the abdominal area. Typically, this includes:

 	* Administering anesthesia for patient comfort
	* Making a carefully placed horizontal incision
	* Repairing underlying muscle structure
	* Removing excess skin and fat
	* Repositioning the belly button

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA CITY

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are individuals at a stable
weight who have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. The
procedure is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring
technique for those struggling with stubborn abdominal concerns.

PATIENT PREPARATION AND RECOVERY

Successful tummy tuck results require comprehensive preparation and
diligent post-operative care. Patients will receive detailed
instructions regarding:

 	* Pre-surgical medical evaluations
	* Medication adjustments
	* Surgical site care
	* Recovery timeline and expectations

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, abdominoplasty involves potential risks
such as infection, bleeding, and changes in skin sensation. Dr.
Padgett ensures patients are thoroughly informed about these
considerations during comprehensive consultations.

TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) OKLAHOMA | DR. MIKE E. GONCE, MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA CITY

A full tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed
to correct a protruding, loose, or sagging abdomen. The surgery
involves removing excess fat and loose skin, resulting in a flatter,
firmer stomach. Abdominal muscles weakened or separated due to weight
loss or pregnancy are surgically repaired during the procedure.

PROCEDURE DETAILS AND VARIATIONS

Abdominoplasty techniques vary depending on the degree of correction
needed. Two primary variations include:

 	* Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive procedure with a scar along the
belt line, above the pubic region, extending from hip to hip
	* Mini Tummy Tuck: Smaller incision with a shorter scar above the
pubic region, limited skin and fat removal

SURGICAL APPROACH AND EXPECTATIONS

During the procedure, the belly button remains intact, with a new
opening created for proper exposure. Liposuction to the hips or flanks
is often performed simultaneously to enhance body contouring results.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY IN OKLAHOMA

It is crucial to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss
solution. Ideal candidates are individuals who are at their ideal
weight, in good health, and have specific concerns about loose skin or
excess abdominal fat.

POST-SURGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Wear a compression garment for a minimum of four weeks
	* Support abdomen during recovery
	* Reduce post-surgical swelling

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The abdominoplasty procedure typically involves general anesthesia
administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Surgery duration
averages approximately two hours, with patients experiencing typical
post-operative sensations of tightness and mild discomfort.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* No physical exertion for two weeks post-surgery
	* Sleep with elevated head and knees supported
	* Avoid tanning for two weeks, protect scars for one year
