ABDOMINOPLASTY TUMMY TUCK ORLAND PARK, IL | EVAN T. MANOLIS M.D.

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY: A COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING SOLUTION

Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss through diet,
exercise, or bariatric surgery often develop excess abdominal skin.
Pregnancy can similarly cause abdominal tissues to become soft and
flabby. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, offers a
surgical solution to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE APPLICATIONS

 	* Tighten stretched abdominal skin
	* Correct weakened abdominal muscles
	* Complement existing body contouring procedures like liposuction
	* Diminish unsightly stretch marks

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AND APPROACH

Dr. Manolis performs two primary tummy tuck techniques: full and
partial. A full tummy tuck involves an incision from hip to hip,
allowing comprehensive access to abdominal tissues. A partial or
"mini" tummy tuck utilizes shorter incisions, ideal for patients with
minimal excess skin below the belly button.

SURGICAL PROCESS

During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat,
tightens loose abdominal muscles, and sculpts the tissue for a
smoother, more defined appearance. The surgery is performed under
general anesthesia, with careful attention to creating natural-looking
contours.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Tummy tuck surgery requires significant recovery time. Patients can
expect initial grogginess, swelling, and potential bruising lasting
one to three weeks. Most individuals return to work within two weeks,
though strenuous activities must be avoided for six weeks or more.

LONG-TERM RESULTS

The effects of a tummy tuck can be long-lasting when patients maintain
a consistent exercise routine, follow a sensible diet, and sustain a
stable weight. The procedure offers a transformative solution for
those seeking improved abdominal aesthetics.

PATIENT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates include individuals with excess abdominal skin,
weakened muscles, and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Manolis will determine the most
appropriate approach for each patient's unique anatomy.

TUMMY TUCK ORLAND PARK, IL | DAVID DREYFUSS, MD

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

Many individuals throughout Chicagoland seek to eliminate stubborn
abdominal fat that compromises their goals of achieving a slim,
athletic figure. An excessive belly bulge can result from pregnancy,
significant weight loss, aging, or genetics.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a popular body contouring procedure
that dramatically reshapes the torso and delivers a taut, thin tummy
associated with a youthful body.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Dreyfuss performs multiple
tummy tuck techniques, including:

 	* Full abdominoplasty
	* Mini abdominoplasty
	* Tummy tuck with or without liposuction

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Good candidates for a tummy tuck are patients who want to reduce
abdominal bulge and sagging skin. While not a weight loss procedure, a
tummy tuck can effectively eliminate stubborn fat and create a
slimmer, more contoured physique.

 	* Healthy and relatively fit
	* Have realistic expectations
	* Non-smokers
	* Desire to eliminate excess abdominal skin and fat
	* Wish to improve overall body contour

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE DETAILS

incisions to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Dreyfuss strategically
removes excess tissue, fat, and skin while repairing weakened
abdominal muscles.

experiencing significant improvement in abdominal contours. Benefits
include tighter skin, improved muscle tone, and a more defined
abdomen.

ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) ORLAND PARK, IL | CHICAGO INSTITUTE OF
PLASTIC SURGERY - ORLAND PARK, TINLEY PARK, NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a sophisticated
surgical procedure designed to address loose abdominal skin and fat.
This transformative treatment effectively tightens muscles weakened or
separated during pregnancy and can improve the appearance of stretch
marks.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a tummy tuck, surgeons make an incision typically within or
just above the pubic area. The length of the incision depends on the
amount of skin to be removed. Key aspects of the procedure include:

 	* Fat removal from targeted abdominal areas
	* Muscle wall tightening using precise suturing techniques
	* Potential removal of lower abdominal stretch marks

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, tummy tucks involve potential risks.
While complications are rare, patients should be aware of possible
outcomes:

 	* Infection
	* Anesthesia reactions
	* Surgical scarring

PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION

Successful tummy tuck outcomes require careful preparation. Patients
are advised to:

 	* Quit smoking prior to surgery
	* Discontinue medications that increase bleeding risk
	* Arrange transportation for the day of the procedure

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Recovery varies by individual but typically follows a structured
timeline. Patients can expect:

 	* Short walks to promote circulation
	* Avoidance of strenuous activities for several weeks
	* Gradual return to normal activities within 3 weeks
	* Complete healing and final results may take several months
