Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Annapolis, MD | Annapolis Plastic Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin while restoring weakened abdominal muscles to create a smoother, firmer profile. Annapolis Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive body contouring procedures with exceptional results.

Reasons to Consider a Tummy Tuck

Patients seek tummy tuck procedures to address various aesthetic and functional concerns:

• Achieve a more defined midsection
• Improve clothing and swimwear comfort
• Eliminate concerns about loose or wrinkled skin
• Restore a more youthful abdominal appearance
• Correct post-pregnancy or post-weight loss skin changes

Tummy Tuck Variations

Skin-Only Tummy Tuck

Designed for patients with toned muscles but excess skin, typically younger women in their 30s and 40s. This less invasive procedure addresses skin laxity caused by:

• Pregnancy-related skin stretching
• Extreme weight loss
• Genetic or age-related skin inelasticity

Procedure Characteristics

The skin-only tummy tuck features a smaller incision and preserves abdominal muscle integrity. It removes extra skin and accumulated fat with optional muscle tissue tightening, providing a quicker recovery compared to full abdominoplasty.

Important Considerations

Tummy tuck surgery is a contouring method, not a weight loss solution. Patients should maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to secure lasting, beautiful results. The procedure is ideal for individuals who have attempted targeted abdominal workouts without achieving desired outcomes.
