Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Honolulu

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to address loose skin, fat deposits, and abdominal muscle laxity. This comprehensive body contouring treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing changes from pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview

The surgical process involves a strategic approach to abdominal restoration. A carefully placed incision allows the surgeon to lift loose skin, tighten underlying muscles, and remove excess tissue. The result is a flatter, more defined abdominal profile.

Procedure Techniques

Standard Abdominoplasty: Comprehensive muscle repair and skin removal
Mini-Abdominoplasty: Limited skin correction for select patients
Potential combination with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that ideal candidates are near their target weight and not planning future pregnancies. The procedure can effectively eliminate stretch marks and provide significant abdominal refinement.

Recovery and Expectations

Initial recovery involves limited physical activity. Patients are encouraged to walk soon after surgery but must avoid strenuous activities for approximately six weeks. The result is a tighter, more contoured abdominal region.

Surgical Approach

Dr. De Los Reyes performs abdominoplasty with meticulous attention to patient-specific anatomy. The incision is strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, typically hidden beneath underwear or swimwear.
