ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) MELBOURNE, FL | DR. REBECCA NOVO

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
remove excess fat and skin while restoring weakened abdominal muscles.
This transformative surgery helps patients achieve a smoother, firmer
abdominal profile, particularly after significant weight loss or
pregnancy.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Tummy tuck candidates typically share these characteristics:

 	* Physically healthy individuals
	* At a stable body weight
	* Non-smokers
	* Have realistic surgical expectations
	* Experiencing stretched abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
	* Struggling with excess skin or fatty deposits in the abdominal area

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE IN MELBOURNE, FL

Dr. Rebecca Novo performs tummy tuck surgery with meticulous
precision, typically under general anesthesia for 3-4 hours. The
procedure involves a horizontal incision above the pubic hairline,
allowing removal of excess skin and tightening of abdominal muscles.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Horizontal incision from hipbone to hipbone
	* Possible secondary incision around the navel
	* Muscle repair and skin tightening
	* Closure with absorbable sutures and surgical glue

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect a comprehensive recovery process, typically
requiring 10-14 days before resuming light activities. A compression
garment supports healing, and full physical restrictions are lifted
after six weeks.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like any surgical procedure, tummy tucks involve potential risks such
as infection, blood clots, and delayed wound healing. Dr. Novo
provides comprehensive consultations to ensure patient understanding
and optimal safety.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Tummy tuck costs vary based on individual surgical requirements.
Pricing typically includes anesthesia, surgical facility fees,
post-surgery garments, and the surgeon's professional fee. Financing
options are available.

SURGERY: FOR YOUR BEST SELF

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to

TUMMY TUCK MELBOURNE, FL | DR. ROGER BASSIN, MD

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

A balanced diet and regular exercise are excellent for health, but
cannot always restore body contours after pregnancy or significant
weight loss. Tummy tuck surgery provides a surgical solution for
repairing weakened abdominal muscles and removing excess skin that
diet and exercise cannot address.

TUMMY TUCK BENEFITS

 	* Repairs separated abdominal muscles
	* Removes excess fat and skin
	* Creates a slimmer, firmer abdominal profile
	* Enhances body contours

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE DETAILS

During the procedure, Dr. Bassin will make an incision along the lower
abdomen's bikini line. Excess skin between the incision and navel is
carefully removed. The navel is often repositioned to create a natural
appearance after skin tightening.

PROCEDURE VARIATIONS

Patients with less severe skin and fat accumulation might qualify for
a mini tummy tuck, which involves a smaller scar and does not require
belly button repositioning.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure with most patients returning
home the same day. While patients can walk and manage stairs,
strenuous activities must be avoided during the 4-6 week recovery
period. Most patients return to work within one to two weeks,
depending on individual health and job requirements.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Permanent scar along bikini line
	* Scar typically concealed by underwear or swimwear
	* Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for long-term results
