Abdominoplasty in Nashville, TN | Nashville Cosmetic Surgery: Don Griffin, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Nashville

Nashville Cosmetic Surgery specializes in tummy tuck procedures for women and men seeking a smooth, firm abdominal contour. While diet and exercise are crucial for overall health, they cannot always restore a slim, youthful midsection, especially after significant weight loss or childbirth.

Tummy Tuck Treatment Goals

The customizable abdominoplasty procedure addresses multiple aesthetic concerns:

• Stretched, sagging abdominal skin
• Lax or torn abdominal muscles, including diastasis recti
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Tummy Tuck Procedure Options

Dr. Griffin offers multiple tummy tuck techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Short-scar tummy tuck (mini abdominoplasty)
• Full tummy tuck (traditional abdominoplasty)
• Circumferential tummy tuck (body lift)
• Lipoabdominoplasty

Surgical Procedure Details

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making strategic incisions, repairing abdominal muscles, removing excess fat through selective liposuction, and creating a taut, smooth contour by removing excess skin.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients should plan for approximately two weeks of recovery, with potential extended time for physically demanding occupations. The procedure is typically outpatient, requiring assistance during the initial 24-hour period post-surgery.

Surgical Expertise

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Don Griffin ensures a personalized approach, recognizing that each patient's body and aesthetic goals are unique.
