What is a Tummy Tuck?
For many, loose skin and pockets of fat within the abdomen can be frustrating and challenging despite attempts to reduce it. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging are the main reasons why someone may not be able to attain a tighter and slimmer stomach. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a body contouring surgery that reshapes the abdominal region, producing great outcomes for patients. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scot A. Martin performs tummy tuck surgery that varies based on the amount of excess skin and fat present. This popular surgery at Martin Plastic Surgery allows individuals the opportunity to have a redefined physique and more confidence. To learn more about this life-changing procedure, schedule a consultation at our Las Cruces, NM office.
How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed?
A tummy tuck is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Dr. Martin considers several methods when performing a tummy tuck, depending on your particular needs. For starters, the incision shape and size are chosen based on the amount of excess skin. Some patients with an abundance of sagging skin might benefit best from an extended tummy tuck. This abdominoplasty technique makes the incision along the lower abdomen from hip to hip, just on top of the pubic area. Some individuals with minimal skin wrinkling may be better candidates for a mini tummy tuck. Men and women who receive this treatment still benefit from an abdominoplasty but will simply have a smaller scar. Regardless of the technique used, all tummy tuck procedures at Martin Plastic Surgery involve the excision of loose skin and liposuction.

34 Year Old Two Kids in Need of Tummy Fix - Las Cruces, NM - I've lived with my stomach this way since I was 20 after giving birth to my first son. I have always been thin but even with exercise couldn't get rid of the loose skin. I'm finally getting it done. ???? I'm scheduled for February 24, 2015. I'm currently 10 days post surgery. Glad I finally did it! Good experience with doctor. Can't wait to see final results!Updated on 6 Mar 2015:I had my first breast augmentation In January of 2013. My first BA I went from a B cup to DD with 550cc. I've decided to go up about 200 cc's with my tummy tuck. The end result was 800 cc UHP.
53 Year Old Decided to Have Tummy Tuck Following Sisters Positive Experience - Las Cruces, NM - I almost had a tummy tuck six years ago but chickened out. I have had two cesarean sections. I workout about six days a week and this loose skin will never improve. I work in the schook system and have summer break so I signed up. Surgery went well and now recovering. I am used to being busy so I have make sure to rest after doing a few chores. The swelling is no fun but I know it will get bether. We all have to hang in there.Updated on 20 Jul 2015:I am feeling better day by day. The incision is healing well and I continue to treat with mederma and vitamin E oil. Some days swelling is a little better and others are worse usually when I overdo things. I am so blessed I had seven weeks off during summer to do this before I return to work. In my job I am walking all day and very active the entire day.
