Abdominoplasty in Miami, FL

Have done your bit after having children?

Diet?
Exercise?
Desperately trying to get to your goal weight?

Yet your stomach is stubbornly loose and protruding?

Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, removes excess fat and skin and restores weakened or separated muscles in the abdomen to achieve a smooth, firm abdominal profile.

Abdominoplasty Surgery

Many formerly obese individuals and women whose skin has been stretched by multiple pregnancies turn to abdominoplasty surgery.

The procedure involves separating the navel from the rest of the tissue and abdominal wall and then pulling the muscles underneath into a tighter position. The excess tissue of the flap is stretched down and is removed.

Abdominoplasty Scar (How to Minimize Scaring)

As with any surgery, scarring does occur. But it does fade over time. Your plastic surgeon will do his best to hide your scarring in existing lines on your abdomen. A good surgeon will strive to keep the incision below your bikini line.

Do not over exert yourself, as this could tear the wound, thereby hindering the healing process. Only once the cut has healed may you apply specialist scar cream.

Abdominoplasty Recovery Time

Each patient is unique. So, it is important to follow the instructions of your surgeon. However, most women need to take about four to six weeks off work. In that period, driving and exercise are not recommended – it takes six weeks to fully recover. Due to the swelling, it may be several weeks before you can see the full effects of your tummy tuck.
