Introduction
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. At The Pennsylvania Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Brenman helps patients regain a firmer and more toned abdomen, boosting their confidence and improving their quality of life.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
This procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose, sagging skin or excess fat in the abdomen, often resulting from pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss. If you’ve tried diet and exercise but are still unable to achieve a flat midsection, a tummy tuck can provide long-lasting solutions.
Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview
Dr. Brenman customizes each tummy tuck procedure to meet the specific needs of his patients. The surgery typically involves an incision along the lower abdomen, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. In some cases, liposuction is combined with the tummy tuck to further enhance the results. Dr. Brenman also repairs weakened abdominal muscles, creating a smoother, more contoured profile.
Recovery Process and Expectations
The recovery time for a tummy tuck can vary, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks. During the initial recovery period, it’s important to follow Dr. Brenman’s aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort. Final results reveal a flatter, firmer midsection, and with a healthy lifestyle, the outcome can last for many years.
