What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgery designed to redefine your abdominal regions and leave you with a more slim and tight stomach. Dr. Tamburrino can help you personalize a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty to help you achieve the body you have always wanted. This procedure is done using general anesthesia, and many techniques can be chosen to help reach your goals. The procedure starts with an incision above your hip. Then, unwanted skin, stubborn fat, and other problem areas will be removed. Next, your incision will be closed and left to heal. You will need to wear a compression garment after your surgery to help control swelling and promote healing.
What makes a good tummy tuck candidate?
While a tummy tuck is a great way to remove excess skin from your abdomen, it is not an ideal procedure for everyone. Many people end up with excess skin after losing weight or having a baby. Other times, no matter how much you exercise, you cannot get rid of stubborn fat. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if:
-
You have excess sagging skin
-
Stubborn fat deposits
-
Extra skin around your belly button
-
Bad skin elasticity
-
Weakened muscles in your lower abdomen
-
Stretch marks on your lower abdomen
Sometimes, no matter how hard you work, these issues will not go away on their own without plastic surgery. Many women choose to have this surgery after childbirth. However, if you are planning on having another kid, the pregnancy could reduce the effects of your surgery. To be a good candidate, you should maintain a healthy weight, be in good overall health, and have realistic expectations of what we can do for you. If you are looking to remove excess skin and stubborn fat, contact Tamburrino Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Doylestown, PA to learn how we can help you today.
