Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Wilmington, CT

Understanding Abdominoplasty: A Comprehensive Overview

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the abdominal region. This transformative surgery addresses multiple aesthetic concerns by removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying muscle structures.

Procedure Specifications

• Procedure Length: 2-3 hours
• Anesthesia Type: General
• Procedure Setting: Usually Outpatient

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who:

• Are in relatively good physical shape
• Have stubborn fatty deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Experience loose abdominal skin, especially post-pregnancy
• Have reduced skin elasticity due to aging

Surgical Technique

During the abdominoplasty procedure, Gillespie Plastic Surgery focuses on comprehensive abdominal reconstruction. The surgical approach involves precise removal of excess skin and fat, strategic muscle tightening, and comprehensive body contouring.

Surgical Outcomes

Patients can expect a flatter, more toned abdominal profile. While scarring is inevitable, the incision is strategically placed below the bikini line to minimize visibility, with potential for fading over time.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery requires patience and following post-operative instructions carefully. Patients should anticipate temporary discomfort and gradual return to normal activities under medical guidance.
