Tummy Tuck

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

At the Modern Plastic Surgery & Medspa, New Orleans, LA plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters uses abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, to help both women and men tighten the skin of the abdominal area with dramatic outcomes for a leaner, slimmer look. For both men and women, loose, wrinkly skin and pockets of fat in the abdominal area can be frustrating because they seem to defy all efforts to get rid of them. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging are typical reasons why a person may not be able to achieve a slim and tight stomach through diet and exercise alone. If you want to tighten sagging skin in your stomach area and reduce unwanted fat for a renewed, trim look, a tummy tuck may be right for you.

How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. There are several surgical options that come into consideration for this surgery. To start, the incision shape and size are determined based on the quantity of excess skin. Some individuals with an abundance of hanging skin might benefit best from an extended tummy tuck, which makes the incision along the lower abdomen from hip to hip, just on top of the pubic bone. People who have minimal excess skin and wrinkling may be better candidates for a less invasive technique. Men and women who receive this treatment can still benefit from an abdominoplasty, but will simply have a less expansive scar. Regardless of how it is performed, all abdominoplasty procedures at Dr. Jules Walters involve the removal of loose, hanging skin and liposuction for a tighter, leaner stomach.
