Tighten Your Core and Eliminate Excess Skin and Fat!
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a frequently performed cosmetic surgery that removes sagging skin and excess fat while repairing weakened abdominal muscles. If you haven’t achieved a washboard stomach with a diet and exercise alone, a tummy tuck could be right for you as it eliminates “flab” from the belly button to the bikini line. Especially useful for patients postpartum or post-massive weight loss, tummy tucks can alleviate lower back pain by removing extra weight caused by loose skin and can be tailored precisely to your unique needs.
The Benefits of Tummy Tucks
With a tummy tuck, we can target common issues like a loose girdle (stomach muscles), excess, loose skin, and too much subcutaneous fat. Some of the benefits of tummy tucks include:
- Reshapes the belly button to natural placement
- Repairs diastasis recti, AKA “stomach girdle separation”
- Ensures minimal scarring and rapid recovery with Dr. Vennemeyer’s advanced techniques
- Improves self-confidence
- Removes extra skin
- Creates a flatter stomach with fat removal
- Tightens the core to avoid “pooch”
- Creates the highly desired flat stomach
- Reduces stretch marks
- Contours the waistline
- Enhances confidence
- Delivers long-lasting results
Am I A Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
Most postpartum patients or those who have undergone massive weight loss and are in good health qualify for a tummy tuck. Dr. Vennemeyer will verify your candidacy in consultation, where we’ll learn more about you, your goals, your dream figure, and your medical history in order to see which kind of tummy tuck is the best for your individual needs. Dr. Vennemeyer finds that patients do better with tummy tucks if they have a BMI of 30 or less, get a minimum of 100g protein daily, and exercise for at least 15 minutes every day to improve resting heart rate.
What To Expect from Tummy Tuck Surgery
A tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure, but recovery can be longer depending on what is done to your core muscles, something Dr. Vennemeyer will discuss with you in surgery. He’ll also provide you with guidelines to ensure a more rapid recovery. A straightforward incision is made with attention paid to minimize scarring, and the abdominal area is then repaired by Dr. Vennemeyer. Excess skin, if necessary, is removed to create a sleeker silhouette, followed by the closure of all incisions to minimize disruption to your appearance. Following the procedure, we’ll provide you with thorough aftercare instructions so you can make the most of your gorgeous figure!
