Tummy Tuck
Discover the transformative power of a Tummy Tuck – a surgical journey to a more sculpted abdomen, enhancing your confidence and silhouette.
Tummy Tuck | Overview
At My Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can be a transformative procedure that helps you regain confidence in your body. Factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can lead to excess skin and weakened muscles in the abdominal area. Our expert plastic surgeons are committed to helping you achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more contoured waistline.
The tummy tuck procedure involves personalized approaches to address your specific concerns. Our surgeons are skilled in performing different types of tummy tucks, including:
- Traditional Tummy Tuck: This approach involves a horizontal incision between the hipbones and a second incision around the navel. It allows us to remove excess skin, tighten weakened muscles, and create a smoother abdominal contour.
- Mini Tummy Tuck: Suitable for patients with less severe concerns, this procedure involves a shorter incision and focuses on addressing the lower abdomen. It’s ideal for those who have excess skin or muscle laxity below the navel.
- Extended Tummy Tuck: If you have excess skin and stubborn fat extending to the flanks and lower back, an extended tummy tuck may be recommended. This technique offers comprehensive contouring of the abdominal and waist areas.
During your consultation, our experienced surgeons will evaluate your abdominal area, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most appropriate tummy tuck technique for you. We’ll explain the surgical process, anesthesia options, and expected recovery, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of the procedure.
Our goal is to provide you with natural-looking results that enhance your body’s appearance while maintaining your unique characteristics. We use advanced techniques to create a firmer abdominal profile, remove excess skin, and restore muscle tone for a more sculpted look.
From your initial consultation to your post-operative follow-up appointments, our team will guide you through every step of the tummy tuck journey. Your safety, comfort, and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we’re here to help you achieve the body you desire.
