Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Colts Neck, NJ

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging can significantly impact abdominal appearance and muscle structure. Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) offers a comprehensive solution to rejuvenate your figure by tightening weakened muscles, eliminating stubborn fat, and removing excess skin.

Key Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tighter Midsection

Life events like pregnancy and substantial weight loss can result in loose abdominal skin. Traditional at-home methods often prove ineffective in addressing skin laxity. Patients choosing tummy tuck surgery can achieve:

• Tighter skin
• More slender figure
• Restored self-confidence

Muscle Restoration

Conditions like diastasis recti develop when abdominal muscles experience excessive pressure. While exercise has limitations, a full tummy tuck surgically repairs muscle separation, creating a stronger core and improving abdominal appearance.

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Dr. Thompson customizes each tummy tuck procedure to address individual patient needs. The surgical technique involves:

• Strategic incision placement
• Muscle tightening
• Excess skin removal
• Optional liposuction for enhanced contouring

Potential Procedure Combinations

Tummy tuck surgery can be combined with complementary procedures such as:

• Breast surgery (Mommy Makeover)
• Fat grafting
• Body contouring treatments
