High-Definition Abdominoplasty in Houston, TX

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated cosmetic surgery procedure designed to tighten abdominal walls and remove excess skin. This transformative surgery creates a flatter, more contoured abdomen for patients struggling with stubborn fat deposits resistant to traditional diet and exercise.

Abdominoplasty Procedure Types

• Mini-Abdominoplasty: Less invasive, targeting lower abdominal area
• Modified Abdominoplasty: Focused muscle and skin repair
• Standard Abdominoplasty: Comprehensive abdominal wall tightening
• Extended Abdominoplasty: Includes flanks and lower back contouring
• 4D High-Definition Abdominoplasty: Advanced athletic body sculpting

4D High-Definition Abdominoplasty Techniques

The 4D High-Definition technique combines advanced liposuction with abdominoplasty, offering comprehensive body transformation. Key features include VASER liposuction, precise abdominal sculpting, and natural umbilicoplasty to achieve an athletic, balanced physique.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

• Patients with loose or sagging abdominal skin
• Individuals near their ideal weight with stubborn fat deposits
• Those seeking to restore abdominal contour after pregnancy or significant weight loss

Procedure Expectations

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, typically taking approximately five hours. Dr. De La Cruz customizes each procedure, potentially combining techniques like VASER Liposculpture and Renuvion/J-Plasma for optimal results.

Recovery and Results

Results are immediately visible and continue to improve over time. Patients can expect a flatter, more toned abdominal area that complements natural body contours. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise helps ensure long-lasting outcomes.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, abdominoplasty carries potential risks including scarring, asymmetry, and temporary sensation changes. De La Cruz Plastic Surgery prioritizes patient safety and comprehensive care throughout the surgical journey.
