ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) RALEIGH, NY | SYNERGY FACE + BODY |
PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a sophisticated
surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat while
tightening abdominal muscles. At Synergy Face + Body, board-certified
plastic surgeons specialize in creating a firm, toned midsection for
patients struggling with persistent abdominal concerns.

WHAT A TUMMY TUCK TREATS

 	* Loose, excess abdominal skin
	* Weakened or stretched abdominal muscles
	* Stubborn stomach fat resistant to diet and exercise

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Synergy Face + Body offers three specialized tummy tuck techniques
tailored to individual patient needs:

STANDARD FULL TUMMY TUCK

The most common procedure focuses on tightening abdominal muscles and
removing excess fat tissue. It is particularly popular among patients
seeking comprehensive abdominal restoration.

MINI TUMMY TUCK

Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin, this technique involves a
smaller incision along the bikini line. It targets localized fat and
muscle tightening with minimal scarring.

CIRCUMFERENTIAL TUMMY TUCK

Recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss,
this procedure removes excess sagging skin from the stomach and lower
back regions, providing comprehensive body contouring.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Procedure Time: 1-5 hours

	* Recovery Timeline: 

 	* 1 week: Return to daily activities
	* 2-6 weeks: Resume light physical activity
	* 6 months: Complete recovery

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

While scarring is inevitable, Synergy Face + Body's surgeons employ
advanced techniques to minimize visibility. Incisions are
strategically placed to ensure optimal aesthetic results and easy
concealment.

MAINTAINING TUMMY TUCK RESULTS

A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. Sustained results depend
on maintaining a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine.
Patients can expect long-lasting outcomes with proper lifestyle
management.

COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENTS

 	* CoolSculpting
	* Liposuction
	* BodyTite
	* Emsculpt

eliminate unwanted fat, and tighten separated abdominal muscles,
providing a flatter and firmer stomach area.

KEY TUMMY TUCK CONSIDERATIONS

COMPREHENSIVE TUMMY TUCK APPROACH

ADDRESSING EXCESS FAT

stomach, and pubic area. This approach ensures a more refined body
contour.

MUSCLE SEPARATION CORRECTION

Dr. Zenn carefully assesses muscle separation, a common issue after
pregnancy or significant weight changes. Using precise internal
sutures, he can tighten and flatten the abdominal muscles when
necessary, avoiding unnecessary interventions that could prolong
recovery.

Center, accredited by the Joint Commission and AAAASF. Patients

soreness. Dr. Zenn uses advanced techniques like regional nerve blocks
to minimize discomfort. Most patients should plan for two weeks of
reduced activity and follow specific post-operative guidelines.
