Abdominoplasty Wilmington, NY | Mark W. Morgan, MD, FACS

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, from Wilmington Plastic Surgery can restore weakened or separated muscles, creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.

What Tummy Tucks Can Accomplish

• Restore weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Remove excess skin and fat in the abdominal area
• Create a smoother and firmer abdominal profile
• Improve the overall contour and appearance of the midsection

Common Factors Contributing to Abdominal Changes

Several factors can lead to a protruding or sagging midsection, including:

• Pregnancy
• Aging
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Hereditary factors
• Prior surgical procedures

Procedure Limitations

Tummy tucks are not substitutes for weight loss or comprehensive exercise programs. While the procedure can remove stretch marks located in excised skin areas, it does not specifically target all stretch marks.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Procedure Considerations

Candidates for tummy tucks should be near their ideal body weight and maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. The procedure is most effective for individuals with excess abdominal skin and weakened muscle structure.
