Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Flowood

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region. This comprehensive body contouring technique helps patients achieve a flatter, more toned stomach appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Procedures

Prime candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who have:

  • Stretch marks on their abdomen
  • Loose skin following significant weight loss
  • C-section scars
  • Maintained a stable weight for at least one year
  • Excess fat deposits in the lower abdomen

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Runnels & North Outpatient Plastic Surgery Center employs a meticulous approach to tummy tuck surgery. The procedure involves general anesthesia, strategic incisions, skin and fat removal, muscle tissue tightening, and precise repositioning to create a natural, sculpted appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately six weeks. During this time, moderate pain management, careful wound care, and limited physical activity are recommended. A supportive abdominal binder can help expedite the healing process.

Permanent Results through Expert Technique

Tummy tuck results are permanent when patients maintain a stable weight and follow a consistent fitness routine. While a surgical scar is inevitable, it will fade significantly over time, revealing a more contoured physique.

Important Considerations

The surgical team cautions against tummy tuck procedures for individuals who:

  • Plan future weight loss
  • Are considering pregnancy
  • Currently smoke
  • Have complex medical histories
  • Have a body mass index over 30

I had a breast reduction in 2008. It was done by Scott Runnels. This was the worst mistake of my life. I hate my breast's now. He took too much off for one thing. I will never ever get another plastic surgery done in the state of Mississippi ever again. I can see the incisions from the procedure. I have no nipple sensation it's gone. My breast's were beautiful before I let Dr. Runnels got a hold on them.

I have wanted what people call a "mommy make-over" for years. I was recommended by someone else to Dr. Runnels. After seeing her results, I knew this is where I wanted to go. I have held onto his name for years knowing one day it would be the right time. I have now had my "mommy make-over" (tummy tuck and breast lift). My results have by far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Runnels for any of your cosmetic surgery needs. His staff is also very friendly and professional.

I am so happy with what Dr. Runnels has been able to create for me after having a bilateral mastectomy and 3 surgeries after the mastectomy with unsatisfactory results at another clinic. I cried when I first saw my 1 day post op results because I was so happy. Now at three weeks post op, I’m still so happy with what Dr. Runnels has done for me and created. I will sing his praises forever.
