ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) IN PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY | HILLARD
WARM, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to flatten the abdomen by eliminating excess fat
and skin while tightening underlying muscles. The procedure can
address lower abdominal scars like C-section marks and stretch marks,
providing comprehensive abdominal rejuvenation.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

 	* Individuals in good physical health
	* Patients with persistent fat or lax skin resistant to diet and
exercise
	* Women experiencing post-pregnancy abdominal changes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The abdominoplasty procedure typically takes one to two hours and is
performed under general anesthesia. A strategic incision is made
across the lower abdomen near the pubic area, with a small additional
incision around the belly button.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Abdominal muscles are tightened for a firmer abdomen
	* Excess skin and fat are removed
	* Incisions are closed with invisible dissolving sutures

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients return home the same day after surgery. Recovery times
vary, but most individuals prefer to take one week off. A small
temporary drainage tube may be inserted for safety, and patients can
expect a scar across the lower abdomen.

MINI ABDOMINOPLASTY OPTION

For patients with limited lower abdominal concerns, a mini
abdominoplasty offers a smaller scar and more rapid recovery. This
variation provides a targeted approach for specific body contouring
needs.

LONG-TERM RESULTS

Maintaining results requires a balanced diet and regular exercise.
While scarring is inevitable, most patients find the improved
abdominal contour to be a worthwhile trade-off.

CONSULTATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential risks associated with surgery and anesthesia will be
thoroughly discussed during the initial consultation to ensure patient
understanding and comfort.
