Abdominoplasty Las Vegas, NV | Terrence Higgins, MD FACS

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Adults experiencing hanging skin and persistent abdominal fat can find relief through abdominoplasty. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging often contribute to challenging abdominal changes that diet and exercise cannot resolve. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers comprehensive tummy tuck procedures designed to reshape the abdominal region and restore patient confidence.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Eliminates excess abdominal fat and skin
• Tightens core muscle structure
• Provides a more toned physique
• Improves posture and physical flexibility
• Potentially alleviates back discomfort
• Can address hernia and urinary incontinence symptoms

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty candidates typically include individuals who are:

• In good overall health
• Non-smokers
• At a stable, healthy weight
• Past childbearing years
• Seeking correction of abdominal skin laxity

Surgical Technique

Tummy tuck procedures are performed under general anesthesia with multiple surgical approaches. The technique depends on individual patient needs, ranging from mini to extended abdominoplasty. Each procedure involves precise skin excision and potential liposuction to achieve optimal body contouring results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial recovery to take approximately two weeks, with gradual return to normal activities. A compression garment helps manage post-surgical swelling. Full results emerge as healing progresses, typically revealing a more contoured, youthful abdominal profile.

Important Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that future pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations can impact surgical outcomes. Consultation with Plastic Surgery Vegas helps determine the most appropriate approach for individual body contouring goals.
