Often known as a tummy tuck, an Abdominoplasty will give you the tightened and toned abdominal look of your dreams. Offering a noticeable reduction in abdomen size, this procedure boasts removal of unwanted fat and skin coupled with a tightening of the abdominal wall muscles. More dramatic than traditional liposuction, this advanced procedure will help you achieve the sculpted silhouette of your dreams.

At SpaMedica, the team of Dr. Stephen Mulholland and cosmetic medical personnel will help determine the best tailored course of action to deliver your desired results. A full Abdominoplasty includes fat removal from the entire abdomen area, followed by stretching the skin tightly while simultaneously tightening to the muscles. This full procedure results in a toned, tight and flat abdominal appearance. Incision area is discreetly located in the lower section.

For a smaller scar, you may consider a partial Abdominoplasty, sometimes referred to as a mini-tummy tuck. This procedure works below the belly button to tighten and flatten the lower area of the tummy. For a smaller scar and targeted treatment, you may be a candidate for this partial procedure.

What should I anticipate as a patient of a tummy tuck?
Your abdominoplasty incision will be kept out of view, under the line of your swimsuit (just above the pubic area). All excess fat cells will be removed, followed by a tightening and pulling of your abdominal muscles to show off the toned appearance you seek. Often, patients have excess skin that will also be removed during this procedure.

Abdominoplasty is a significant procedure and requires a recovery process that can take up to six weeks. All patients react and recover differently. You may return to normal activities and tasks after a full recovery has been made.

What are the details I should know about a tummy tuck?
If diet and exercise are not producing the results you seek in your abdominal region, you may be a candidate for an Abdominoplasty. You may have lost significant weight and are seeking a solution for those last few pounds and that ultimate flat stomach you seek, a tummy tuck or partial tummy tuck can help you easily achieve your contoured dreams.
Best performed after a weight-loss regimen, an Abdominoplasty sculpts, contours and defines.
