ABDOMINOPLASTY TUMMY TUCK IN TULSA, OK | TULSA SURGICAL ARTS

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Sagging skin and excess abdominal fat can feel frustrating, especially
after significant weight loss, childbirth, or aging. A tummy tuck, or
abdominoplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to
tighten the stomach area and restore a more contoured physique. At
Tulsa Surgical Arts, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina personalizes each tummy tuck
to help patients achieve their desired body transformation.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK?

Tummy tuck procedures are suitable for both men and women struggling
with:

 	* Loose or hanging abdominal skin
	* Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
	* Weakened or separated abdominal muscles

KEY CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Cuzalina recommends patients be at a stable weight before
undergoing the procedure. Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss solution
but a body contouring treatment focused on skin tightening and muscle
repair.

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE TECHNIQUES

Tulsa Surgical Arts offers three primary tummy tuck techniques:

 	* FULL TUMMY TUCK:
 	* MINI TUMMY TUCK:
 	* EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK:

SURGICAL PROCESS AND RECOVERY

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically
involves skin removal, muscle tightening, and optional liposuction.
Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks, with full
recovery taking approximately eight weeks.

BENEFITS OF A TUMMY TUCK

Patients often experience:

 	* Improved body contour and silhouette
	* Reduced skin chafing and irritation
	* Enhanced physical comfort
	* Increased self-confidence

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Many patients combine tummy tuck with other body contouring procedures
like liposuction or a mommy makeover for comprehensive results.

TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) IN TULSA, OK

Dr. Greg Ratliff at the Plastic Surgery Center of Tulsa offers tummy
tuck procedures to help patients eliminate excess belly fat and skin
around their midsection. Whether you've lost a significant amount of
weight or are a mother looking to regain your pre-pregnancy figure, a
tummy tuck can help you achieve a flatter, more toned abdomen.

DRAINLESS TUMMY TUCKS: LESS PAIN, QUICKER RECOVERY

Dr. Ratliff is one of the few plastic surgeons in the region
performing drainless tummy tucks. This advanced technique uses
progressive tension suturing to eliminate the need for drains,
resulting in a faster and less painful recovery for eligible patients.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

	* Women who have completed their families
	* Men and women who have lost significant weight
	* Patients close to their ideal body weight
	* Individuals with good muscle tone and general fitness

It's important to note that patients planning significant weight loss
or pregnancy should postpone their tummy tuck procedure.

TUMMY TUCK OPTIONS

Dr. Greg Ratliff offers various tummy tuck options to suit individual
needs:

	* Full Tummy Tuck
	* Extended Tummy Tuck
	* Mini Tummy Tuck (Partial Abdominoplasty)

During your consultation, Dr. Ratliff will discuss which option is
best for you and may recommend combining liposuction with your tummy
tuck for optimal results.

THE TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia in one of our
surgical suites. The procedure typically involves removing excess fat
and skin, tightening abdominal muscles, and creating a new belly
button if necessary. Incision placement and extent depend on the type
of tummy tuck being performed.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

While patients can expect some swelling and discomfort initially, most
begin to see changes in their profile within a week or two. Full
results may take several weeks to become apparent. Dr. Ratliff
provides specific post-operative instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.
