A tummy tuck can dramatically improve abdominal contour for patients who have loose skin and excess tissue after pregnancy or massive weight loss. To find out if tummy tuck surgery is right for you, call our office at (980) 372-5239 or complete our online contact form today.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area to create a smoother, sleeker body contour. A tummy tuck not only removes excess skin and fat, but it can also tighten separated or weakened abdominal muscles to create a firmer abdominal wall.
Patients commonly choose tummy tuck surgery to address changes resulting from the following:
- Pregnancy
- Significant weight loss
- Loss of skin elasticity
Dr. Kadz may also recommend a mini tummy tuck for patients who want to address mild lower abdominal skin laxity, localized fat, and, in some cases, limited muscle laxity. Patients can also combine their mini tummy tuck with breast enhancement and liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck offers both physical and aesthetic benefits, including the following:
- Removes loose, excess skin
- Creates a smoother, flatter midsection
- Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
- Tightens underlying abdominal muscles
Removing excess skin may improve physical comfort, reduce skin irritation beneath skin folds, and make certain physical activities easier. Many patients enjoy increased confidence after achieving a leaner, more sculpted torso.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
The best candidates for a tummy tuck tend to be individuals who:
- Are in good general health
- Are at or near their goal weight
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit
- Ideally have completed childbearing
- Have realistic expectations for their results
A tummy tuck can substantially improve your body contour, but it is not a weight loss treatment. Patients generally achieve the best results when they are at or near their goal weight before surgery.
How the Tummy Tuck Is Performed
Dr. Kadz usually performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia so patients remain comfortably asleep throughout the procedure. For select, less extensive procedures, intravenous sedation may be appropriate. Dr. Kadz will recommend the anesthesia option that best supports your safety and surgical goals.
During surgery, Dr. Kadz creates an incision low on the abdomen that is typically concealed beneath most swimsuits or underwear. He then removes excess skin and tissue and tightens the abdominal muscles to create a leaner contour. He meticulously sutures the incision closed to minimize visible scarring. The entire process typically takes two to four hours to complete, depending on how much correction is required to achieve the desired contour.
Tummy Tuck Recovery & Aftercare
To ensure the best outcome from your tummy tuck, plan to take enough time off work and other activities to rest and recuperate. You will have a compression garment to wear over the surgical area, which reduces swelling while supporting the body as it conforms to the new contour. Short walks are encouraged soon after surgery to promote healthy circulation and support the healing process. Many patients return to desk work and other light activities within two to three weeks, although recovery varies depending on the extent of surgery performed.
What Results Can I Expect From a Tummy Tuck?
It takes time to see the results of your tummy tuck since swelling may linger for a few weeks. As swelling gradually improves, your abdomen will continue to flatten and refine over the following weeks and months. Most patients begin appreciating their results within several weeks, with continued improvement for up to six months or longer. Incision scars will also continue to mature and fade over time.
Because excess skin and fat are removed during surgery, tummy tuck results can be long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results over time.
