Summer is right around the corner, which means it is almost time to break out those bathing suits! If you are feeling uncomfortable with excess sagging tissue or skin on your abdomen and have not seen results with diet and exercise alone, a tummy tuck may be right for you. Read on to learn more about this popular procedure and how it can help you achieve your ideal summer figure. 

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen to create a smoother and firmer abdominal profile. Many individuals desire a flatter, firmer midsection to improve the way clothing looks and feels, as well as feel more confident in their body. 

Who Can Benefit from a Tummy Tuck?

Individuals who desire a flatter, slimmer midsection may benefit from a tummy tuck. Overall, this procedure may be a good option if diet and exercise have helped with weight loss, but you are still experiencing excess skin on your abdomen. However, this procedure may not be suitable for everyone. You should not undergo this procedure if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you are solely seeking to lose weight. A tummy tuck is a body sculpting procedure and should not be performed as a weight loss solution. To learn more about candidacy, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Young today. 

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Before the procedure, Dr. Young and his team first conduct a thorough medical evaluation and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure that a Tummy Tuck is the perfect solution for you. 

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The surgical technique applied may vary depending on your unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the amount of skin that needs to be removed. However, regardless of the technique, an incision pattern will be created and excess skin and fat removed for natural-looking results.

After the procedure, Dr.Young’s team will provide impeccable aftercare and follow-up instructions to ensure your recovery process is smooth and on track to meet your goals.
