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.
