Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Fort Worth, TX | Jonathan B Heistein MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to transform abdominal contours. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Heistein helps patients in Fort Worth and Southlake achieve a flatter, more toned stomach by addressing loose skin, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles.

Who Can Benefit from a Tummy Tuck?

• Men and women with excess abdominal skin
• Patients with separated abdominal muscles
• Individuals after significant weight loss
• Post-pregnancy patients seeking body restoration

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Heistein carefully removes excess skin and tightens underlying abdominal fascia. The procedure typically involves:

• Removing skin between the belly button and pubic area
• Repairing separated abdominal muscles
• Strategically placing incisions below the bikini line
• Optional liposuction for enhanced body contouring

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of two to three weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately four weeks. Dr. Heistein provides personalized post-operative guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.

Procedure Considerations

Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring procedure. Ideal candidates are at or near their target weight with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
