ABDOMINOPLASTY IN CHARLOTTE, NY | ROBERT GRAPER

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Abdominoplasty is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed
to improve abdominal appearance by addressing aesthetic concerns
resulting from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and muscle separation.
The procedure removes excess skin, eliminates stretch marks, and
reconstructs weakened abdominal muscles.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

A full abdominoplasty involves surgically removing extra skin and fat
while repairing loose muscles. The procedure is performed through a
hip-to-hip incision that can be easily concealed by most swimwear.
Surgeons strategically remove skin between the belly button and pubic
bone, eliminating associated stretch marks.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

 	* General anesthesia administration
	* Hip-to-hip incision placement
	* Muscle tightening and reconstruction
	* Excess skin and fat removal
	* Compression garment application

MINI TUMMY TUCK CONSIDERATIONS

Mini abdominoplasty offers a modified approach for patients with
minimal skin excess below the belly button. This technique involves a
smaller incision and less extensive muscle repair, providing a quicker
recovery period of 7-10 days for office workers.

RECOVERY PROTOCOL

Patients can expect a structured recovery process involving initial
waist-bent positioning, gradual exercise reintroduction, and
compression garment usage. Most patients return to work approximately
three weeks after the procedure.

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

While rare, potential risks include bleeding, infection, and improper
wound healing. The surgical team carefully manages these risks through
meticulous technique and comprehensive post-operative care.
