Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Customizing Your Transformation:
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a popular cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance of the abdominal region. This surgery targets excess skin and fat and weakened or separated abdominal muscles, often caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Tummy tucks can give patients a flatter, firmer, and more aesthetically pleasing abdomen.
Types of Abdominoplasty
There are various types of tummy tucks to address different patient needs:
Full Abdominoplasty: This procedure typically involves an incision that runs horizontally between the hips, placed low enough to be concealed by most undergarments or swimwear. It allows for the most comprehensive correction of the abdomen, addressing both the upper and lower abdominal areas. The abdominal muscles may be tightened, and excess skin and fat may be removed.
Mini Tummy Tuck: A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive procedure focusing primarily on the lower abdomen. It involves a smaller incision and is suitable for individuals with limited excess skin and fat below the navel.
Extended Tummy Tuck: This option is ideal for patients with excess skin and fat extending around the hips and flanks. It includes a longer incision that allows for the removal of excess tissue from a broader area.
Candidates for a tummy tuck should generally:
Be in good overall health.
Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Be at or close to their ideal weight.
Be non-smokers

Scar revision offers a path to enhancing the story your skin tells. When partnering with us and understanding the process, you can embark on your journey to reduced scar visibility and improved confidence in your skin's appearance.
Skin Grafting:
In cases where a scar is particularly large, a skin graft may be used. This involves taking a piece of skin from one area of your body (the donor site) and transplanting it to cover the scar. The donor site will also form a new scar, which may be easier to conceal.
Tissue Expansion:
This technique is often used for more extensive scars or scars on the scalp. A balloon-like tissue expander is placed under the skin near the scar. Over time, it's gradually filled with saline to stretch the surrounding skin. Once enough expansion is achieved, the scar can be removed, and the expanded skin covers the area.
Flap Surgery:
Flap surgery involves moving a section of healthy skin with its underlying tissue and blood supply to cover a scar. This is commonly used for more complex scar revisions.
