Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Exton, PA | Dr. Nicholas Wingate

Understanding Abdominoplasty in Exton, PA

Many individuals struggle to achieve a toned, sculpted midsection despite dedicated diet and exercise. Genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can significantly impact abdominal appearance, making traditional fitness efforts challenging.

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal region while tightening underlying muscles. The technique provides a slim, firm appearance to the midsection, addressing aesthetic concerns that cannot be resolved through traditional fitness methods.

Tummy Tuck Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty typically meet the following criteria:

• At or near ideal body weight
• In good overall health
• Experiencing persistent abdominal bulging despite diet and exercise
• Dealing with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss
• Non-smokers or willing to quit
• Maintaining realistic expectations

Procedure Options

Traditional Full Tummy Tuck

A comprehensive procedure addressing the entire abdominal region, involving an incision from hip to hip. This technique removes excess skin above and below the navel, repositioning the belly button for optimal aesthetic results.

Mini Tummy Tuck

An alternative procedure focusing on the lower abdominal area. Mini tummy tucks are ideal for patients with minimal excess skin, offering benefits like quicker recovery and less scarring.

Surgical Approach

Legacy Plastic Surgery performs tummy tuck procedures at a fully-accredited Ambulatory Surgical Center. Each surgery is customized to meet individual aesthetic goals, typically taking one to two hours to complete.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within one to two weeks following surgery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled at critical intervals to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. Tummy tuck outcomes are generally long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight.
