WHAT IS A
Tummy Tuck?
Saggy skin and stubborn pockets of fat in the stomach can lead to frustration, especially if you work hard to maintain a healthy diet and fitness routine. With significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging, you may find it increasingly difficult to attain a tight, slim midsection. For women who have gone through the trials of pregnancy, the abdominal muscles may have separated after childbirth, requiring surgical intervention.
Types of Tummy Tucks
Full
A full tummy tuck will address the abdomen comprehensively, removing excess skin, fat, and tissue, tightening lax belly muscles, and repositioning the navel in a more youthful-looking area. The surgery is ideal for treating diastasis recti (separated stomach muscles) after pregnancy and childbirth.
Extended
An extended tummy tuck is often performed as part of contouring after weight loss combination procedure. It removes skin and fat not only from the belly but also from the flanks, waist, and hips, contouring the physique from every angle.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is ideal for patients seeking contouring of the lower belly below the navel. The incision may be shorter, which means less scarring and a shorter recovery period. While the surgery will not reposition the belly button, it still removes excess skin and gives the abdomen a more toned appearance. Many times, Dr. Barker will perform a mini tummy tuck in addition to VASER liposuction while the patient is awake under local anesthesia. This procedure is a great option for patients with lower abdominal skin excess who also wish to improve their overall abdominal and flank contour and appearance.
Our tummy tuck is a skin tightening and body contouring treatment that reshapes the abdominal region, producing attractive outcomes for patients. Based on your cosmetic goals, Dr. Barker can create a personalized surgical plan. This popular surgery helps to expand your clothing options and create a more positive self-image with enhanced confidence.
What To Expect From
A Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck can help reduce loose skin, decrease stubborn fat, and tighten the abdominal muscles. Before undergoing abdominoplasty, Dr. Barker recommends being at a stable, healthy weight. He will perform a detailed consultation process to help determine if a tummy tuck treatment is right for you. Note that this procedure is not a substitute for weight loss. A tummy tuck can help patients who:
- Desire to improve their tummy’s appearance
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Want to regain their pre-pregnancy body
During your consultation, Dr. Barker will create a detailed surgical plan, discuss the best incision techniques, and schedule your surgery.
Plastic surgery is a field where it really is a partnership between surgeon and patient. I do not take it lightly that people place their trust in me, and ultimately use my expertise to obtain their surgical and cosmetic goals. This is a great responsibility that makes me strive to be the best surgeon and physician I can be
