Abdominoplasty Minnetonka, MN | Dr Stephanie Peng

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can contribute to excess fat and sagging skin around the midsection. When diet and exercise won't eliminate these issues, a tummy tuck – or abdominoplasty – can strengthen, tighten, and smooth the abdomen.

What Can a Tummy Tuck Accomplish?

• Create a flatter, more toned abdomen
• Eliminate resistant fat and excess skin
• Boost self-confidence
• Restore abdominal muscle integrity

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

Board-certified plastic surgeon Stephanie Peng performs abdominoplasty using a precise, multi-step approach:

• Anesthesia administration
• Strategic incision placement
• Excess tissue and fat removal
• Abdominal muscle repair
• Navel repositioning
• Careful suturing

Candidacy Requirements

Ideal tummy tuck candidates should:

• Maintain a stable weight
• Be in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations
• Be unable to achieve desired results through diet and exercise

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect gradual improvement, with initial results visible after six weeks. Full recovery typically occurs within six months, with final results developing over a year.

Important Considerations

Dr. Peng emphasizes that abdominoplasty is an enhancement procedure, not a weight loss solution. Patients should be near their goal weight and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Procedure Customization

Dr. Peng offers both traditional and mini tummy tuck options, tailoring the procedure to each patient's specific aesthetic goals and anatomical needs.
