Abdominoplasty Nashville, TN | Dr. J. J. Wendel Plastic Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Many individuals experience frustration with abdominal fat accumulation and skin laxity caused by pregnancy, weight loss, genetics, or aging. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, provides a surgical solution to remove unwanted fat and skin, creating a firmer and more contoured abdominal profile.

Comprehensive Abdominoplasty Options

Dr. Jason Wendel offers multiple abdominoplasty techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Traditional Abdominoplasty
• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Drainless Tummy Tuck
• Muscle Tightening Procedures
• Lipoabdominoplasty

Surgical Procedure Details

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Wendel makes a strategic incision below the bikini line. The procedure involves removing excess skin beneath the belly button, tightening underlying abdominal muscles, and repositioning the belly button for a natural appearance.

Advanced Pain Management

Dr. Wendel utilizes the ON-Q PainBuster Pump system to minimize post-surgical discomfort, reducing the need for extensive narcotic pain medication and promoting a more comfortable recovery experience.

Alternative Non-Surgical Options

For patients with minimal skin and fat concerns, Morpheus8 Skin Remodeling treatments might offer a non-invasive alternative to traditional abdominoplasty.

Procedure Considerations

Candidates for tummy tuck surgery include individuals with:

• Significant abdominal skin laxity
• Weakened abdominal muscles
• Excess fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
