Abdominoplasty Sarasota, FL | Dr. Alissa Marie Shulman

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to smooth and firm the abdominal region. This procedure is not a weight loss method, but an effective way to reshape and tone the midsection when diet and exercise do not produce desired results.

Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction

While liposuction can remove isolated pockets of fatty tissue, it may not be suitable for all patients. Certain conditions can impact abdominal appearance, including:

• Weight fluctuations
• Pregnancy
• Hormonal imbalances
• Extreme weight loss

Comprehensive Abdominal Contouring

A tummy tuck offers a more comprehensive solution than liposuction alone. This procedure can simultaneously remove excess fatty tissue, tighten lax muscles, and eliminate loose skin. The goal is to create a smoother, more toned abdominal profile.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Dr. Shulman recognizes that each patient is unique. Before pursuing surgery, a comprehensive consultation helps determine the most appropriate treatment strategy. The focus is on understanding individual concerns, goals, and ensuring the patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Patient Considerations

Success with a tummy tuck requires a commitment to maintaining results through a nutritious diet and regular exercise. Dr. Shulman provides individualized guidance to help patients achieve and sustain their body contouring goals.
