If you’re struggling with a protruding abdomen, excess skin, or weakened abdominal muscles that don’t respond to diet and exercise, a tummy tuck might be the solution you’ve been seeking. At Politis Plastic Surgery in Tampa, FL, we specialize in abdominoplasty procedures tailored to help you achieve a flatter, more toned midsection.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy, leading to stretched skin and separated abdominal muscles.
Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery involves an incision made from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. Through this incision, we remove excess skin and fat and repair weakened or separated muscles to create a smoother and firmer abdominal profile. In some cases, liposuction may be used to enhance the contouring results.
Post-surgery, patients can expect some swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Most individuals return to light activities within two weeks and resume normal activities after about six weeks. The results of a tummy tuck are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are individuals in good health, at a stable weight, and with realistic expectations about the outcomes. If you’re considering this procedure, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your needs.
At Politis Plastic Surgery, we’re committed to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with personalized care and expertise. If you’re ready to explore how a tummy tuck can transform your abdomen and boost your confidence, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
