ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) FLORENCE, SC | JOE A. GRIFFIN III, MD

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a comprehensive
surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the
middle and lower abdomen while tightening underlying abdominal
muscles. This procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of a
protruding abdomen, creating a flatter, more contoured midsection.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

The best candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who are:

 	* In relatively good physical shape
	* Bothered by loose abdominal skin that doesn't respond to diet or
exercise
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE

A typical tummy tuck procedure involves several key steps:

 	* Making an incision just above the pubic area
	* Separating skin from the abdominal wall
	* Tightening underlying muscles
	* Removing excess skin and fat
	* Repositioning the navel if necessary

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients should understand that abdominoplasty is a major surgical
procedure with permanent scarring. The surgery can take two to five
hours, depending on the complexity of the individual case. Recovery
typically requires several weeks, with full results becoming apparent
over several months.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND RECOVERY

Like all surgical procedures, abdominoplasty carries potential risks
including infection, blood clots, and healing complications. Patients
can minimize risks by following their surgeon's pre- and
post-operative instructions carefully, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle, and avoiding smoking.

CUSTOMIZED SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Joe A. Griffin III offers personalized abdominoplasty procedures
tailored to each patient's unique body contours and aesthetic goals.
During the initial consultation, a comprehensive evaluation will
determine the most appropriate surgical technique, whether a full
abdominoplasty or a partial procedure.
