Tummy Tuck in Dallas, TX

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that allows a board-certified plastic surgeon to flatten your stomach by getting rid of any excess fat via liposuction and by tightening your abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck is a safe and simple procedure that can be completed on an outpatient basis. Tummy tucks are great for patients who have had significant weight loss, been pregnant before or are simply aging. You are a great candidate for a tummy tuck if you have a stable weight and are in good health.

How is a tummy tuck performed?

A tummy tuck is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon making a small incision beneath your belly button. He then will suction out any excess fat on your tummy and begin tightening your abdominal muscles. Depending on the condition of your stomach muscles, your surgery could take up to a few hours. After your surgery is complete, you will need to wear a compression garment to reduce the swelling in your tummy. Your recovery time should be anywhere from two weeks to one month.
