Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty / Body Lift /Thigh Lift / Liposuction
Abdominoplasty is most commonly referred to as a tummy tuck and is an elective cosmetic surgical procedure that tightens and tones the abdominal region. The procedure enhances and perfects the appearance of the middle and lower abdomen. It uses surgical techniques to remove excess skin and fat from the area and tightens and strengthens the muscles and fascias on the abdominal wall. It uses liposuction techniques to remove excess fat cells from the midsection and delivers immediate results. This procedure is an effective way for men and women to contour their midsections and target imperfections that they cannot improve with diet changes, an exercise routine, or a healthy lifestyle.What It Treats
Both men and women of different ages make good candidates for a tummy tuck. The best candidates are in good health and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-op to preserve results long-term. Women who have undergone one or multiple pregnancies or have seen unwanted changes to their midsection over time make good candidates for abdominoplasty. One or more pregnancies can cause excess fat and loose skin to define the midsection, which can lead to feeling less confident about your appearance. This procedure can help women regain their pre-baby midsections or look even better than they did even pre-pregnancy.Contouring the Body After Weight Loss
Additionally, this procedure is a good option for men and women who have completed an effective weight loss program and have lost a significant amount of weight. Substantial weight loss can leave behind loose skin, especially in the midsection. This can be discouraging when you have spent a lot of time and effort losing weight. However, an abdominoplasty can help with this issue. This procedure can help fine-tune your midsection so that you can enjoy all the benefits of reaching your goal weight and enjoy a tightened and toned midsection as well.Addressing Cosmetic and Functional Concerns
This procedure can address many different cosmetic and functional concerns. It will contour your silhouette by removing excess fat and help create a tighter and more toned-looking midsection. It removes excess skin from the midsection while strengthening the core abdominal muscles. Many people don’t realize that a tummy tuck can also address functional concerns. It can help improve posture and even relieve specific types of back pain. Additionally, it can treat stress urinary incontinence and even correct a ventral hernia. This procedure will improve your confidence and help you look and feel better in swimsuits, tight-fitting clothing, or whatever you want to wear.Customizing Your Tummy Tuck
Our experts don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach when designing an abdominoplasty treatment plan. Instead, they meet with each patient to discuss their cosmetic goals and then design a surgical plan that will help them reach those goals. Some patients want to address the middle abdominal area, others want to address the lower abdominal area, and even others want to address both. Whatever your goals and regardless of whether you want to treat functional or cosmetic concerns, we will design a treatment plan that transforms your midsection into the one of your dreams.The Recovery Process
After your procedure, you will need someone to drive you home the same day of your surgery. You will also need someone to help you around the house perform household chores, meal preparation, and run errands for the first several days. For the first few days, you’ll need to focus on resting, and while you won’t be able to stand up completely straight at first, you will need to make it a priority to walk for a short time several times a day. Walking is such an important part of the recovery process because it helps you avoid constipation, prevents blood clots in the legs, and speeds up the healing process.What To Expect
It typically takes approximately two weeks of recovery before patients can resume non-strenuous work. If you work at a job that requires a significant amount of standing, you’ll need to take three to four weeks off work. If you work a strenuous job, you’ll need to plan on taking six weeks off of work in order to recover. Our experts will give you more details about what kind of recovery you can expect and how to prepare for it before your scheduled surgery so that you can heal as quickly as possible and enjoy all the benefits of your tummy tuck.The Results
This procedure is intended to deliver both immediate and permanent results. However, you play an important role in determining how long your results last. This procedure will not prevent you gaining weight in the future. You must maintain a healthy weight after your procedure and avoid significant weight gain because that will negatively impact your results. Liposuction will leave you with significantly less fat volume in your midsection, but it won’t remove every single fat cell. The remaining fat cells in your midsection may expand if you gain weight, and if you gain a significant amount of weight, you may experience skin laxity. Living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining your weight will help prevent anything from negatively affecting your results.Contour Your Midsection
