Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Fort Lauderdale, FL | Simon Peter J MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty Procedures

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and firm the abdominal area. This comprehensive treatment addresses multiple aesthetic concerns for both male and female patients experiencing excess skin and fat.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Patients with significant skin laxity after major weight loss
• Women seeking body restoration post-pregnancy
• Individuals with stubborn abdominal fat deposits
• Patients desiring improved abdominal muscle tone

Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

During the abdominoplasty procedure, surgeons strategically remove excess fat and skin while tightening the underlying abdominal muscle structure. Female patients can anticipate an enhanced "hourglass" body contour, with a more defined waistline.

Surgical Technique Highlights

• Precise fat and skin removal from the abdominal region
• Muscle wall tightening for improved core structure
• Optional complementary liposuction for surrounding areas
• Targeted treatment for hips, thighs, and love handles

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Patients typically wear an abdominal binder for 4-6 weeks following the procedure. This support garment helps optimize surgical results and provides essential healing support. Daily removal during showering is recommended and part of standard post-operative instructions.

Mini-Tummy Tuck Options

For younger patients with minimal skin excess, a mini-tummy tuck provides a less invasive alternative with targeted body contouring benefits.
