Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck Easton, MD | Sullivan Surgery & Spa Easton

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed for individuals struggling to eliminate excess fat and skin around the midsection. This advanced body contouring technique removes unwanted tissue and tightens abdominal muscles, creating a sleeker, more defined appearance.

Surgical Procedure Details

The tummy tuck procedure involves a strategic horizontal incision between the pubic hairline and navel. Dr. Kelly Sullivan carefully determines the incision's shape and length based on the required correction. Through this approach, weakened abdominal muscles are repaired, excess fat and tissue are removed, and skin is strategically tightened.

Procedure Characteristics

• Duration: One to three hours
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Surgical Setting: Outpatient procedure
• Performed with board-certified Maryland anesthesiologists
