Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Cullman, AL | Dr. Morgan Martin, MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen while tightening abdominal muscles. This comprehensive body contouring technique creates an internal corset to repair diastasis recti and restore abdominal wall strength.

Procedure Overview

A tummy tuck can be performed in multiple variations depending on patient needs:

Standard abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin and fat removal
Extended abdominoplasty addressing wider areas of excess skin
Fleur de lis abdominoplasty with vertical and horizontal skin removal
Mini abdominoplasty for limited lower abdominal correction

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Patients typically seeking abdominoplasty include individuals experiencing:

Significant skin laxity after substantial weight loss
Muscle separation following multiple pregnancies
Inability to restore abdominal contour through diet and exercise
Desire to repair diastasis recti and improve core strength

Surgical Considerations in Cullman, AL

Dr. Morgan Martin evaluates each patient's unique anatomical requirements, considering factors such as body mass index, skin elasticity, and overall health. The practice recommends patients maintain a stable weight for optimal surgical outcomes.

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Tummy tucks are frequently combined with complementary procedures like liposuction to enhance overall body sculpting. The surgical approach may target multiple areas including abdomen, flanks, and back for comprehensive transformation.

Diastasis Recti Repair

A critical component of abdominoplasty involves repairing diastasis recti, a condition where abdominal muscles separate. Surgical reconstruction not only improves aesthetic appearance but also enhances core strength and potentially addresses issues like urinary incontinence.
