Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Hinsdale

Hanging skin and excess abdominal fat can be challenging to eliminate, even with dedicated diet and exercise efforts. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging often contribute to abdominal skin laxity. Tummy tuck surgery offers a transformative solution for individuals seeking a slimmer, more toned abdominal profile.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery is suitable for both men and women who experience:

  • Loose or excess abdominal skin
  • Stubborn fat deposits in the stomach region
  • Weakened or separated abdominal muscles

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Kouris performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia, utilizing multiple techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The procedure involves:

  • Precise skin excision
  • Targeted liposuction
  • Muscle repair and tightening

Surgical Approach Options

Different abdominoplasty techniques include:

  • Full abdominoplasty: Addresses loose skin in lower and upper stomach
  • Mini abdominoplasty: Focuses on areas below the belly button
  • Extended tummy tuck: Targets stomach, upper thighs, and hip regions

Recovery and Expectations

After tummy tuck surgery, patients can expect:

  • Initial recovery period of 2-4 weeks
  • Compression garment to minimize swelling
  • Gradual return to normal activities
  • Resumption of light workouts around two months post-surgery

Important Considerations

Patients should note that tummy tuck surgery is not a weight loss procedure. Dr. Kouris recommends being at a stable, healthy weight before undergoing the treatment. Women interested in abdominoplasty should be past childbearing to maintain long-lasting results.

Potential Combination Procedures

Many patients combine tummy tuck surgery with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, thighplasty, or mommy makeover to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.

Being so young & wanting a breast lift, I went to multiple consultations. When I met Dr. Kouris, I knew he was the one. He made me feel comfortable & explained everything very well. He was able to help me envision realistic results. He was very attentive during my post op & I couldn’t be happier with my results. He’s a very talented doctor, highly recommend.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kouris. He is extremely skilled, brilliant, and artistic. He is hands down the best surgeon. I researched plastic surgeons for a breast reduction with removal of implants. After narrowing my search, I interviewed and had consultations with 6 different plastic surgeons. I was very OCD with this process, as a decade earlier I had a poor experience with a surgeon who is now retired. Dr Kouris’ experience with breast surgery is bar none. A large portion of his surgical history is with RUSH university hospital where he performed the more complicated and reconstructive cases/patients. After meeting Dr Kouris in person, I knew immediately he was the person I would trust. Dr. Kouris speaks in laymen’s terms, easy to understand, explained the process and procedure very clearly, the recovery, and demonstrates that he wants the best possible outcome to the patient’s desire. He was very clear, artistic, and I couldn’t be more happy, I am thrilled with the outcome! The recovery, for me, was right on target, and seamless. He removed nearly 6 pounds total, bilaterally. In my younger years, I had undergone countless biopsies and was placed in the high risk breast cancer screening, because my breasts were very fibrous and dense. When Dr. Kouris performed my reduction and implant removal, he informed me he understood why I was screened so often, based on my breast tissue. I do NOT have cancer. He related he removed as much of that type of tissue as possible to help prevent further biopsies if possible. I am now 6 months post op, and I have had my first mammogram. The technicians and radiologist compared my before/after mammograms. They were all impressed and said I no longer have to be in the high risk breast cancer screening. My primary physician and my OBGYN were extremely pleased with my results. So much, they each requested Dr. Kouris’ information so they could refer their future patients. I no longer feel pain, my shoulders aren’t “rounded” anymore from the weight, my clothing fits better and I am just so comfortable. I no longer have an excuse NOT to exercise. The icing on the top, Dr. Kouris is a very nice and pleasant person with a great bedside manner. Anne, His administrative assistant at the office is very welcoming, kind, and easy going. Save yourself hours and hours of the research I have already done and schedule a consultation with Dr. Kouris. His work changed my life

I did extensive research on eye lid surgery before I decided to visit Dr. Kouris. His website, professional background and patient testimony helped me make my decision. During the consultation Dr. Kouris took the time to answer my questions, listen to my concerns and explain realistic results. The entire journey from consultation, pre-op visit, operation and post-op visit was thoroughly explained and closely monitored by Dr. Kouris himself. He has a high level of professionalism and excellent bed side manners. I am very happy with the end result and can highly recommend Dr. Kouris and his staff.
