Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Achieve a Firmer, Flatter Abdomen and Renewed Comfort

Significant life events like pregnancy and major weight loss are remarkable achievements, but they can leave lasting changes, such as loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles. These changes can cause not only aesthetic concerns but also physical discomfort, including chronic skin irritation within skin folds. An Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a Tummy Tuck, is a powerful surgical procedure designed to correct these issues, restoring a firmer, flatter midsection and enhancing both your comfort and confidence.

What is an Abdominoplasty?

An Abdominoplasty is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that sculpts the midsection by addressing both skin and the underlying muscle structure. The surgery is a two-fold solution:

1. Removal of Excess Skin and Fat: The surgeon removes the loose, excess skin and stubborn fat from the lower and middle abdomen to create a smoother, tighter surface.

2. Tightening of Abdominal Muscles: The weakened or separated abdominal muscles (a condition called diastasis recti) are surgically pulled together and tightened. This repair acts like an internal corset, flattening the abdominal profile and defining the waistline.

The Comprehensive Benefits

A Tummy Tuck is a transformative procedure that offers a multitude of benefits:

• Restored Abdominal Firmness: Achieve the flat, toned stomach that diet and exercise alone cannot provide.

• Improved Posture: The tightening of the core muscles often leads to better posture and can alleviate associated lower back pain.

• Enhanced Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your body, both in and out of clothing.

• Relief from Skin Irritation: By removing excess skin folds, the procedure can eliminate the chronic rashes and discomfort they cause.

Your Tummy Tuck Journey

We are committed to providing you with a clear and supportive experience.

• Procedure Duration: The surgery typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete.

• Recovery and Aftercare: You can expect to return to daily life within 2 to 4 weeks. Wearing a medical compression garment during this time is a mandatory and crucial part of the healing process to ensure the best possible results.

• Longevity of Results: The results are long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your new, sculpted contour for years to come.

• Scarring: The scar is a permanent part of the procedure. However, it is strategically placed low on the abdomen, within the bikini line, to be easily concealed by underwear and swimwear.

• Potential Risks: As with any surgery, risks exist and may include fluid buildup, delayed healing, or infection. These will be discussed in full during your consultation.
