Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Knoxville, TN

Understanding Abdominoplasty in Knoxville

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Associates has been performing abdominoplasty procedures in Knoxville, TN since 1983. This advanced surgical technique creates a slimmer, flatter abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles.

Who Benefits from Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing:

• Loose abdominal muscles after multiple pregnancies
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Surgical Considerations

While abdominoplasty produces a permanent scar, an experienced plastic surgeon can minimize its visibility. The scar placement is strategically designed to be concealed by bathing suits and undergarments.

Abdominoplasty Procedure Details

Performed in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Associates' state-of-the-art surgical suite, the tummy tuck procedure typically lasts two to four hours. Patients can expect a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Stephen Lazarus will:

• Discuss surgical goals and expectations
• Evaluate overall health and medical history
• Explain specific surgical techniques

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild discomfort managed through medication. Full recovery ranges from 4-6 weeks, with many returning to work after two weeks. Following a healthy diet and exercise program can help maintain long-lasting results.

Committed to Patient Satisfaction

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Associates prioritizes patient safety and satisfaction. While no surgical procedure can guarantee perfect results, the practice strives to deliver the highest-quality plastic surgery experience in Tennessee.
