Tummy Tuck: Abdominoplasty
Get Results with a Tummy Tuck at Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery
Our Abdominoplasty Procedure
A tummy tuck involves several key steps to achieve a flatter, more toned abdomen:
- Incision: A horizontally oriented incision is made in the lower abdomen. The exact length and site of the incision depend on the extent of correction needed.
- Muscle Repair: The abdominal muscles receive tightening and are sutured together, creating a stronger core and flatter abdominal wall. This step is particularly important for patients with rectus diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles).
- Excess Skin and Fat Removal: Sagging skin and excess fat are removed to create a smoother abdominal contour.
- Navel Repositioning: In a full tummy tuck, the belly button is repositioned to ensure a natural appearance after the excess skin is removed.
- Closure: The incisions are carefully sealed with sutures, and small drainage tubes may be temporarily placed to prevent fluid buildup.
This multi-step approach ensures a comprehensive transformation of the abdominal area, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance.
