Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a common term for the surgical procedure to correct a protruding or loose, sagging abdomen. The goal of the tummy tuck is to create an hourglass figure with a narrow waistline and flat profile. Good candidates for abdominoplasty are in good physical condition with minimal fluctuation in weight. Often, these are women who are through with childbearing but are left with weakened or spread abdominal muscles and amounts of weight and have redundant, flaccid skin. Unfortunately, all the sit-ups in the world will not get this type of tissue to shrink. In these instances, resection of the excess abdominal tissue and surgical tightening of the abdominal muscles is the way to correct the problem.

A mini-abdominoplasty with liposuction, or liposuction alone are less extensive procedures, but may be all that is required. A consultation with Dr. Rumley with special attention to your goals and expectation will determine the appropriate procedures.

Abdominoplasty is not a substitute for a healthy diet and a conscientious excercise program. But for those who have tried their best at everything else to no avail, it can be a welcome opportunity for not only an attractive new figure but also the improved attitude and self esteem that go with it.

During your consultation, your goals will be discussed. The scars will be from hip bone to hip bone as well as another small incision around the belly button. The incisions are designed to be hidden entirely in a bikini.

Abdominoplasty is an outpatient procedure and is performed under general anesthesia.
