Tucson Abdominoplasty Surgeons

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a frequently performed procedure by Tucson plastic surgeons. During a tummy tuck, a Tucson abdominoplasty surgeon enhances the appearance of a patient's abdomen by tightening abdominal muscles that may have been stretched out as a result of pregnancy and removing excess skin, typically after significant weight loss. Patients who undergo a weight loss surgery often seek out a Tucson tummy tuck specialist who can tighten the muscles and remove the extra skin, thus giving them a new body. It is important to note that a tummy tuck is different than a panniculectomy. During this body contouring procedure, the abdominal muscles are not tightened. It is important during your consultation with your tummy tuck Tucson surgeon that you inquire about which treatment is the best for you.

Tummy tuck is a complex procedure and the recovery period can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, top Tucson tummy tuck surgeons are well known for using the latest most advanced methods to help each patient reach a full recovery in as little time as possible.

Abdominoplasty is often performed as part of a combination of procedures. For women who will no longer be getting pregnant, a tummy tuck is often combined with a breast reduction or breast augmentation. This is commonly referred to as a mommy makeover. For patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss, a tummy tuck may be combined with a body lift to help patients obtain their desired appearance.
