Abdominoplasty Ridgeland, MS | David Steckler MD, FACS

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

For both men and women, hanging skin and excess abdominal fat can persist despite dedicated weight loss efforts. Pregnancy, significant weight loss, and natural aging processes often contribute to challenging abdominal contours. An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a specialized body contouring treatment designed to transform the stomach area with exceptional results.

Customized Surgical Approach

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler performs personalized tummy tucks tailored to individual patient needs. The Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery offers patients in Jackson and Madison, MS an opportunity to achieve a redefined physique and renewed self-confidence.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia with carefully selected incision techniques. Depending on individual skin laxity, Dr. Steckler may recommend:

• Extended tummy tuck (hipbone to hipbone incision for significant skin excess)
• Smaller, targeted incisions for minimal skin laxity
• Comprehensive excess skin and fat removal
• Muscle tightening techniques

Recovery and Expectations

After the procedure, patients will be monitored and provided a compression device to manage swelling. Initial recovery involves limited mobility, with most patients resuming normal routines within two weeks. Complete healing and return to exercise typically occur around two months post-surgery.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Individuals experiencing persistent abdominal skin laxity due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging may benefit from a tummy tuck. The procedure offers a surgical solution for those struggling to achieve a toned, tight abdominal profile through diet and exercise alone.
