Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address complex abdominal concerns that diet and exercise cannot resolve. Shoals Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive body contouring solutions for patients seeking significant aesthetic improvements.

Reasons for Considering Tummy Tuck

• Persistent abdominal area resistant to traditional weight loss methods
• Excess skin following substantial weight reduction
• Muscle separation after pregnancy
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Desire for improved abdominal muscle alignment

Surgical Procedure Details

Abdominoplasty at Shoals Plastic Surgery typically ranges from one to five hours, depending on individual patient requirements. The procedure involves a strategic approach to remove excess skin and fat while realigning abdominal muscles.

Surgical Technique

Surgeons make a carefully placed horizontal incision above the pubic bone, extending across the lower abdomen. The skin is meticulously separated from underlying muscle tissue, allowing for precise removal of excess skin and strategic muscle tightening.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-operative recovery requires patience and adherence to medical instructions. Patients can anticipate temporary swelling and discomfort, managed through prescribed medication. Most individuals can resume normal activities within two weeks, with complete adaptation occurring over approximately one year.

Long-Term Results

Maintaining results requires commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and regular exercise. Shoals Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to support patient success.
