Tummy Tuck Surgery 

If diet and exercise alone are not delivering the results you want, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty might be the solution. At New Radiance, we offer tummy tuck surgery to help rejuvenate your midsection. Whether you are dealing with excess skin after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, our expert surgeons can help you regain your confidence and comfort.  

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery? 

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. This surgery is beneficial for individuals who have loose, sagging skin or weakened abdominal muscles due to factors like pregnancy, significant weight fluctuations, or aging. During the procedure, your surgeon will remove the excess skin and fat, tighten the muscles, and create a more toned, firmer appearance. 

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery 

Flatter Abdomen 

By removing excess skin and fat, the procedure helps create a smoother, flatter appearance. 

Tightened Abdominal Muscles 

The tightening of the abdominal muscles can improve core strength and posture. 

Enhanced Body Proportions 

A tummy tuck can enhance the overall proportions of your body, giving you a more balanced look. 

Improved Confidence 

Many patients report an increase in self-confidence and a more positive body image following their procedure. 

Relief from Discomfort 

Excess skin, especially after weight loss or pregnancy, can cause physical discomfort. A tummy tuck can alleviate these issues. 

Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery 

A tummy tuck is an excellent option for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with loose, sagging skin around the midsection. Ideal candidates for the cosmetic surgery procedure include individuals who have excess abdominal skin due to pregnancy or significant weight loss, those with weakened or separated abdominal muscles, people in generally good health, non-smokers, or those who are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery to ensure proper healing. 

The Tummy Tuck Procedure 

Tummy tuck surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision along the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. The length of the incision will depend on the extent of the procedure. For those needing only minor improvements, a mini tummy tuck may be recommended, which involves a smaller incision and focuses on tightening the loose skin and muscles below the belly button. 

Once the incision is made, excess skin and excess fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened to create a firmer, flatter appearance. The skin is then pulled down over the abdomen, and the incision is closed with sutures. In some cases, liposuction may be performed in conjunction with the tummy tuck to further enhance the contour of the waistline. 

Tummy Tuck Results and Recovery 

After your tummy tuck plastic surgery, you will likely experience some swelling and discomfort, but these symptoms can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities within two to four weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks. It is important to avoid sun exposure to let your tummy tuck scar heal properly after the aesthetic plastic surgery. 

The results of your tummy tuck will become more apparent as the swelling subsides, revealing a flatter, more toned abdomen. With proper care, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, the results can be long-lasting.
