What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles for a flatter, more toned appearance. At Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic, our skilled plastic surgeons help patients achieve a firmer, more sculpted midsection, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Not only can this procedure enhance body contours, but it can also improve posture and more. The results are long-lasting, particularly when maintained with a healthy lifestyle. If you're looking to restore your confidence and achieve a slimmer, more defined waistline, a tummy tuck could be the perfect solution. Contact our Tallahassee, FL office to learn more.
How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed?
A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. During the surgery, a low horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area, allowing one of our plastic surgeons to tighten the abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and reshape the midsection. If necessary, the belly button may be repositioned to maintain a natural appearance.
Liposuction can also be incorporated to refine the contours further. Each aspect of the procedure is carefully tailored to help meet your goals and achieve a smooth, firm, and rejuvenated abdominal profile. The procedure typically takes between 2 – 4 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed.
What Are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck provides a range of physical and aesthetic benefits, helping patients achieve a more toned and confident appearance. Some benefits of a tummy tuck include:
- Removal of excess skin
- Tightening of abdominal muscles
- Reduction in stretch marks
- Improved body contours
- Increased confidence and comfort
Tummy Tuck Reviews
My experience in two surgeries (breast implants and tummy tuck) performed by Dr. A. Paredes, can hardly be improved. His results are impeccable and he is a perfectionist surgeon. When consulting about a cosmetic procedure, he will be clear and tell you the pros and cons. There is a certain warmth in the way the patient is prepared before entering the operating room. The clinic is immaculate and all the doctors and nurses linked to your surgery will make you feel “safe” before and after. “I have had the same feeling in both of my surgeries.” I live in Madrid, but the results I have had are well worth the trip.
Mi experiencia en dos cirugías (Implantes de pecho y tummy tuck ) hechas por el Dr. A.Paredes, son difícilmente mejorables.Sus resultados son impecables y es un cirujano perfeccionista .Al momento de la consulta sobre un procedimiento estético, será claro y te dirá los pros y los contra.Hay cierta calidez en en la forma de preparar al paciente antes de entrar a la sala de operación.La clínica es inmaculada y todos los médicos y enfermeras vinculados a tu cirugía te harán sentir “segura” antes y después..“He tenido la misma sensación en mis dos cirugías..”Vivo en Madrid , pero los resultados que he tenido , bien valen la pena el viaje.
