Abdominoplasty – "Tummy Tuck"

If you have been unsuccessful in your attempts to lose the excess fat and skin around your midsection, abdominoplasty may be right for you. Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes skin and fat from the middle to lower abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles for a sleeker, more defined appearance. Abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck) at our Orlando, Florida, area practice is considered a major surgery, so it is important that you discuss all of your questions and concerns with Dr. Trevisani during your private consultation.

Abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck) begins with a long incision made from hip to hip, creating a flap of skin. Next, the skin is separated from the abdominal wall to reveal the abdominal muscles, which are then tightened and stitched into their new position. The skin flap is stretched down and excess skin is removed. Finally, the incision is stitched closed and dressings are applied. Abdominoplasty at our Florida practice takes between two and five hours to complete and is performed under anesthesia.

After abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck), you will experience some bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort, but these side effects will subside as you heal. Although your scar will never completely disappear after abdominoplasty, it is easily hidden under clothing and bathing suits.

The best candidates for abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck) are those patients who are in relatively good shape but cannot get rid of the loose skin and extra fat around their midsection. Abdominoplasty is especially helpful to women who have had multiple pregnancies.

Abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck) surgery results in a narrower waistline and a firmer abdomen. If you want to learn more about abdominoplasty at our practice near Orlando, Florida, please contact the Aesthetic Surgery Centre today.
