used to tighten weakened muscles. Many patients seek this procedure
after experiencing changes in their abdominal area due to pregnancy,
weight fluctuations, or natural aging processes.

BENEFITS OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

Pregnancy and significant weight changes can stretch abdominal skin
and support tissues beyond their ability to naturally tighten. Dr.
Coleman's tummy tuck procedure addresses these concerns by:

 	* Removing excess sagging skin
	* Repositioning separated stomach muscles
	* Removing localized fat pockets
	* Firming and flattening the abdominal area
	* Potentially reducing waist size

removing surgical scars and improving two-piece bathing suit
appearance. The navel remains untouched during this procedure.

A comprehensive surgery that reduces skin and fat while tightening
areas above and below the navel. This approach offers maximum
flexibility for patients with significant excess skin and weakened
muscles.

EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK

Combines formal abdominoplasty with skin removal around the entire
waistline. This technique can include lifting skin on lateral thighs
and buttocks, making it ideal for patients who have undergone
bariatric surgery.

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery with Dr. Coleman should:

 	* Be within 10 percent of their ideal body weight
	* Have completed their family planning

good. Patients can maintain their improved contours by maintaining a
healthy weight and incorporating regular exercise. While some natural
aging will occur, the results will remain significantly enhanced.

SURGICAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

comprehensive patient safety. Potential surgical risks include typical
medical concerns such as bleeding, healing complications, and
anesthesia reactions.

ADVANCED ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) DALLAS, TX | DR. WILLIAM P. ADAMS
JR.

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Abdominoplasty addresses significant abdominal changes caused by
childbirth or substantial weight loss. When skin becomes stretched and
muscles weakened, a tummy tuck can restore abdominal contours by
removing excess skin and tightening underlying muscle structure.

TUMMY TUCK OPTIONS

Dr. Adams offers two primary abdominoplasty approaches:

 	* Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive muscle and skin reconstruction
	* Modified Mini-Tummy Tuck: Less invasive option for minimal skin
laxity

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically
requiring three to four hours. The procedure involves precise muscle
tightening, skin repositioning, and strategic incision placement to
minimize visible scarring.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients should anticipate:

 	* 2-3 weeks of limited activity
	* Potential caregiver assistance
	* Gradual posture restoration
	* Compression garment wear for four weeks

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Dr. Adams utilizes advanced pain management techniques, including
Exparel, a non-narcotic medication injected during surgery to
significantly reduce initial post-operative discomfort.

CANDIDACY AND CONSULTATION

Ideal candidates are individuals in good physical and mental health
with realistic expectations. The initial consultation provides
comprehensive surgical planning, including professional photography
and detailed procedure explanation.

SCAR CONSIDERATIONS

While scarring is inevitable, Dr. Adams employs advanced techniques to
minimize and optimize scar appearance. Incision placement is
strategically designed to remain discreet, typically hidden beneath
swimwear or underwear.
