Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens weakened muscles, and eliminates stubborn fat. While diet and exercise are essential, they do not always provide the flat, sculpted appearance many patients desire.

Common Reasons for Tummy Tuck

• Postpartum muscle separation and skin stretching
• Significant weight loss with residual loose skin
• Genetic predisposition to challenging abdominal contours
• Abdominal wall hernia repair with cosmetic enhancement

Tummy Tuck Candidacy Requirements

• Loose or sagging abdominal skin
• Physically healthy individuals
• Stable, maintainable weight
• Realistic surgical expectations
• Non-smokers
• No current pregnancy plans

Dr. Arroyo's Advanced Surgical Technique

Dr. Arroyo performs tummy tucks utilizing Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA), a cutting-edge sedation method that prioritizes patient safety and comfort. The procedure involves precise skin removal, muscle tightening, and potential liposuction to achieve an optimal contoured result.

Procedure Variations

Mini Tummy Tuck

Focuses on the lower abdomen with a smaller, strategically placed incision, ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity.

Extended Tummy Tuck

Provides comprehensive contouring with a broader incision, addressing excess skin and fat across the stomach and flank areas.

Plus-Sized Tummy Tuck

Specifically designed for plus-size individuals, targeting the entire abdominal region with specialized contouring techniques.

Recovery and Results

Most patients resume work within 2-3 weeks, with full activity resuming around 6 weeks post-surgery. Initial swelling will gradually subside, revealing a more sculpted, youthful abdominal profile.

Investment in Your Transformation

Tummy tuck procedures typically range from $8,000 to $13,000, depending on the specific technique and individual requirements.
