Abdominoplasty in Austin, TX | Dr. Andre Levesque

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Dealing with sagging skin and unwanted abdominal fat can be challenging. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging often contribute to abdominal changes that diet and exercise cannot fully address. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the stomach area, providing patients with a tighter, more defined physique.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery is suitable for both men and women seeking body contouring. Key considerations include:

• Maintaining a stable body weight
• Having excess skin in the abdominal region
• Being past planned pregnancies
• Having realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Techniques

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

• Full tummy tuck: Addresses upper and lower abdomen
• Mini tummy tuck: Targets areas below the belly button
• Extended tummy tuck: Improves abdomen, hips, and upper thighs

Recovery and Expectations

Tummy tuck recovery involves careful monitoring and gradual return to normal activities. Patients can expect initial discomfort and restricted movement, with most individuals resuming everyday functions within two weeks. Complete recovery and final results typically manifest after several months.

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine tummy tuck surgery with complementary procedures like liposuction or thigh lifts to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. During consultation, Dr. Levesque will develop a personalized treatment plan addressing specific aesthetic goals.

Surgical Considerations

Dr. Levesque prioritizes minimal scarring, strategic incision placement, and patient safety. Incisions are carefully planned to be concealed by swimwear and undergarments, ensuring aesthetic discretion.
