TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) IN MAINE

Are you tired of camouflaging your abdomen with creative fashion
choices? A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can help you regain a slim,
taut midsection. Dr. Thomas E. Vaughan offers expert tummy tuck
procedures in Maine to tighten loose skin and improve your appearance
and self-confidence.

WHAT DOES A TUMMY TUCK INVOLVE?

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and may
tighten abdominal muscles for a leaner, flatter stomach. Dr. Vaughan
performs three main types of tummy tucks:

MINI TUMMY TUCK

	* Takes about an hour
	* Uses general or local anesthesia with IV sedation
	* Small horizontal incision low on the abdomen
	* Navel remains intact
	* Often combined with liposuction of upper abdomen

FULL TUMMY TUCK

	* Takes up to two hours
	* Incision across lower abdomen curving up toward hips
	* Small incision around navel to reposition it
	* Addresses loose skin/fullness in entire abdominal area

EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK

	* Removes excess skin from sides
	* Improves muscle laxity in flank and hip regions
	* Ideal for patients with extra skin/fat in flank and back areas

TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY

Recovery typically involves:

	* Temporary drainage tubes for fluid
	* Limited standing upright initially
	* Short walks encouraged for circulation
	* Avoiding straining, bending, lifting for several weeks
	* Swelling and bruising subsiding over weeks
	* Redness along incisions fading over months
	* Full results visible after several months

TUMMY TUCK RESULTS

While it may take months to see final results, patients can expect:

	* A flatter, firmer abdomen
	* Improved self-confidence
	* Long-lasting results with stable weight

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

The best candidates are those at a stable, healthy weight with:

	* Excess abdominal skin
	* Weakened abdominal muscles
	* Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

To determine if a tummy tuck is right for you, schedule a personalized
consultation with Dr. Thomas E. Vaughan. He will evaluate your medical
history, discuss your goals, and recommend the best abdominoplasty
approach for your needs.
