Everyone’s body is different, so every tummy tuck surgery is tailored to the patient’s unique shape and cosmetic goals. During your initial tummy tuck consultation, Dr. Thompson will review your health history and expectations of the procedure. After determining which tummy tuck option is the most appropriate for your case, he will devise a customized tummy tuck plan to address your concerns and give you the gorgeous silhouette you desire.
A tummy tuck corrects abdominal skin laxity and damage to the rectus muscles. An incision is created just above the pubic area and extends out to the hips. To address skin laxity above the belly button, your surgeon may create an incision around it. Skin and fatty tissue are separated from the abdominal wall, and the weakened muscles are tightened. Excess skin is excised, and the remaining tissues are repositioned.
Liposuction is a fat removal procedure that can be used to treat hard-to-reach areas that have collected pockets of stubborn fat. Dr. Thompson combines circumferential liposuction with tummy tuck surgery to improve the contour of the entire trunk area, including the back, and produce optimal results for the entire silhouette.
Tummy tuck surgery can be performed in conjunction with other surgical techniques to achieve the best body contouring results. Some of the procedures you may choose to combine with a tummy tuck include:
A non-invasive or minimally invasive body contouring procedure can be added after a tummy tuck to further improve the contours of the abdomen or body.
A tummy tuck will often include a liposuction treatment of the surrounding areas. A body lift may also be combined with a tummy tuck to address broader abdominal concerns.
A tummy tuck may be part of a Mommy Makeover, a personalized procedure that usually focuses on the abdomen and breasts. This technique usually involves a breast augmentation with or without a breast lift.
Tummy tuck surgery can also be followed by non-invasive contouring treatments, such as cellulite reduction, CoolSculpting® body contouring, and CoolTone®. Surgical and non-surgical procedures cannot be performed simultaneously, and you will need to return for your additional once you have healed from your tummy tuck.
As with all surgical procedures, there is some level of unavoidable risk associated with a tummy tuck. These risks may include some of the following:
