UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN WASHINGTON, DC

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen
while tightening abdominal muscles. The ideal candidate for this
procedure is an individual at a healthy goal weight experiencing loose
skin or muscle separation.

KEY PROCEDURE INSIGHTS

 	* Targets excess abdominal skin and fat
	* Repairs and tightens separated abdominal muscles
	* Not a weight loss procedure
	* Best suited for patients within 10 pounds of their goal weight

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

DC Plastic Surgery Boutique evaluates potential tummy tuck candidates
based on several critical factors. Ideal candidates are non-smokers
with excess abdominal skin resulting from significant weight loss or
pregnancy, and who maintain a stable weight.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

During the abdominoplasty, patients undergo general anesthesia. The
surgical process involves making a curvilinear incision along the
pubic hairline, removing excess fat, and meticulously suturing and
repairing abdominal muscles. Patients typically receive 1-2 surgical
drains to manage post-operative healing.

POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND INSTRUCTIONS

Recovery from a tummy tuck requires careful adherence to specific
post-procedural guidelines. Patients will initially wear an abdominal
binder to reduce swelling and will transition to compression garments
in the weeks following surgery.

RECOVERY MILESTONES

 	* Initial abdominal binder worn immediately post-surgery
	* Drains removed within 1-2 weeks
	* Transition to compression garment for approximately 6 weeks
	* Final results visible around 6 weeks post-procedure
