Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Excellent candidates for tummy tuck surgery are generally in good health and dissatisfied with the appearance of their abdomen. During a consultation, Dr. Rios will evaluate each patient's unique situation to determine if a tummy tuck is the best option for achieving their goals.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Rios makes an incision low on the abdomen to access underlying tissues, remove excess skin and fat, and tighten abdominal muscles if necessary. The procedure's length and complexity depend on the patient's specific needs.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a tummy tuck varies between patients but generally involves several weeks of reduced activity. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially, which can be managed with prescribed medications. A compression garment is typically worn to support healing tissues. Full results become apparent over time, revealing a flatter, more contoured abdomen.
