Tummy Tuck in Purchase, NY | Michael S. Suzman, MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated surgical technique designed to contour and slim the abdominal area. Dr. Michael Suzman offers this procedure in Westchester County to carefully remove excess fat and tighten remaining skin for patients struggling with stubborn abdominal concerns.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Optimal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are individuals who are:

• In good overall health
• At or near their target body weight
• Experiencing excess skin around the abdomen
• Dealing with a weakened abdominal wall

Surgical Procedure Details

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Suzman typically makes a horizontal incision between the belly button and pubic area. The procedure involves removing excess fat and tissue, tightening underlying fascia, and potentially repositioning the belly button. The entire process takes approximately 3 hours and results in a discreet scar along the bikini line.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Drainage tubes may be used to manage fluid, and patients will need to follow careful post-operative instructions. Full recovery typically takes several weeks, with gradual improvement in abdominal contour.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Dr. Suzman offers specialized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique body and aesthetic goals. By combining surgical expertise with an understanding of individual needs, he helps patients achieve a more refined and confident physical appearance.
