Abdominoplasty Draper, UT | Premier Plastic Surgery Group

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

The stomach can be one of the most challenging areas to reshape through diet and exercise. Weight fluctuations and pregnancy frequently result in stretched skin and weakened muscles that traditional fitness methods cannot fully address. A tummy tuck provides a comprehensive solution for abdominal contouring by removing excess skin and tightening underlying muscle structures.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Premier Plastic Surgery Group offers two primary tummy tuck approaches:

• Traditional Tummy Tuck: Addresses the entire abdominal region
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the area below the belly button with a smaller incision

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Patients who benefit most from tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who have experienced:

• Significant weight loss
• Pregnancy-related abdominal changes
• Diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles)

Surgical Procedure Details

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons create strategically placed incisions across the hip bones to minimize visible scarring. During the surgery, abdominal muscles are tightened, excess skin is removed, and optional liposuction can be performed to enhance body contours.

Recovery and Results

Patients should anticipate approximately two weeks of initial recovery. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to manage healing and optimize results. Swelling and discomfort are common but can be managed with prescribed medications. Full results typically emerge within 1-2 months post-procedure.

Procedure Considerations

To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, patients should:

• Maintain a stable, healthy weight
• Complete family planning before surgery
• Follow all pre and post-operative instructions
