Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
     Plastic Surgery of the abdomen, called Abdominoplasty, is designed to help individual’s achieve the goal of a smoother, flatter abdomen. Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove the excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. The underlying musculature of the abdominal wall is also tightened at that time. This procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. It can give you a flatter, firmer, tighter stomach and thinner waist.

     The best candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who are not obese and whose weight is stable. The surgery is particularly helpful to women whose abdominal muscles have been stretched by multiple pregnancies. Loss of skin elasticity, frequently found in older individuals and in people who have lost a substantial amount of weight, can also be greatly improved.

     If you’re considering abdominoplasty, the process begins with the consultation. In assessing your overall health, and determining the extent of fat deposits in your abdominal region, a plan can be formulated to achieve the best result for you.

Is this right for me? A Personal Decision
     Thousands of abdominoplasties are performed each year. The results can be dramatic. The decision to pursue abdominoplasty is a highly personal and important one. Many factors that are unique to each individual contribute to the decision and overall success of the surgery.

     Our experience and expertise can make this choice a little easier. You can find out if this is right for you by contacting our office for a consultation.

The Surgery
     Dr. Bounds and his Board Certified or Board Eligible Anesthesiologist have your safety and comfort in mind. After surgery in the Operating Suite, you will awake from the surgery in the Recovery Room, attended by a Registered Nurse.

     Typically you should be able to return to work after seven to ten days, depending on the level of activity required for your job. You should not pursue strenuous activities for several weeks. Your return to work and activities will be reviewed with you.
