Located in Peabody, MA, Dr. David J. Wages offers tummy tuck surgery,
also known as abdominoplasty, to help patients achieve a firmer and
more toned abdominal profile. This procedure addresses excess fat and
skin and, in many cases, repairs weakened or separated abdominal
muscles. Tummy tucks can be beneficial even for individuals at a
stable weight and normal body proportions who find it challenging to
achieve a flat abdomen through diet and exercise alone.

OVERVIEW

IDEAL CANDIDATE:
This procedure is recommended for individuals in good health and at a
stable weight, who have realistic expectations, and are concerned
about the appearance of their abdomen, especially if they have
experienced abdominal changes following pregnancy.

PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin, while also restoring
weakened or separated muscles for a smoother and firmer abdominal
contour.

	* DURATION: 3 to 4 hours
	* ANESTHESIA: General anesthesia
	* RECOVERY: Patients should rest on the day of surgery, resuming
light activities within two days. Full activity is permitted after 12
weeks.

PREPARATION
Two weeks before the surgery, patients meet with Dr. Wages for a
pre-operative visit to finalize measurements and review the procedure.
Final markings are done the day before surgery. Smoking cessation is
essential, as it can interfere with healing.

PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Dr. Wages’ team provides comprehensive guidance from initial
consultation to post-operative care. The consultation includes a
thorough examination with bio-dimensional measurements and a detailed
review of the procedure and recovery expectations. Dr. Wages often
includes diastasis recti repair and liposuction in the tummy tuck
procedure to enhance results.

RECOVERY
Patients are encouraged to rest during the initial 24 hours
post-surgery and to follow the specific post-operative instructions
provided by Dr. Wages to promote healing. Initial improvements become
visible in the days following the procedure, with complete results
developing over 6 to 12 months.
