Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Atlanta, GA | Dr. Mark F. Deutsch, MD

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin after significant weight fluctuations, childbirth, or due to aging. The procedure helps patients restore weakened muscles and achieve a firmer, smoother abdominal profile.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview

Dr. Deutsch performs tummy tucks under general anesthesia, typically taking two to four hours. The procedure involves:

• Incision placement just above the pubic hairline
• Muscle tissue repair and tightening
• Removal of excess skin, tissue, and fat
• Optional liposuction of surrounding areas

Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks, though full recovery takes several months. Dr. Deutsch recommends avoiding strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks and wearing a compression garment to support healing.
