Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Lawrenceville, NJ

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess abdominal skin and muscle laxity. Lawrenceville Plastic Surgery specializes in comprehensive body contouring techniques that effectively reshape and tighten the abdominal area.

Procedure Overview

The abdominoplasty procedure removes excess skin typically resulting from significant weight loss or pregnancy. By tightening the underlying abdominal muscles, the surgery provides patients with a flatter, more contoured physique.

Surgical Options

• Full Abdominoplasty: Comprehensive procedure performed under general anesthesia
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Localized treatment for patients with skin excess below the belly button
• Combination Procedures: Often combined with liposuction of love handles and thighs

Procedure Customization

Lawrenceville Plastic Surgery offers personalized abdominoplasty options. Patients with skin excess limited to the lower abdomen may qualify for a mini-tummy tuck performed under local anesthesia with sedation in the office surgical facility.

Surgical Approach

The surgical approach depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. Full abdominoplasty is typically performed in a hospital or surgical center under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and optimal surgical precision.

Complementary Procedures

Abdominoplasty can be strategically combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction or breast surgery to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
