TUMMY TUCK
Tummy Tuck Surgery in Naples, FL
Abdominoplasty | Naples Plastic Surgery
Many patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss or pregnancy struggle with loose skin on their stomachs and may seek out the services of a cosmetic surgeon due to the lack of viable at-home options to treat the condition. Some people who have an otherwise normal body-weight-to-proportion physique can still develop a protruding, loose, or saggy abdomen. The most common reasons for this include aging, heredity, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations, with the tummy tuck being among the most effective means for Naples, FL patients to address the excess belly skin.
Many patients ask about improvement of the contour of their abdomen. I commonly receive consultations for loose skin or a slightly bulging belly. Much of these concerns can be addressed by an abdominoplasty, or commonly known as the tummy tuck.
In most patients, the underlying problem is not only loose skin, but a separation of the muscles underneath that we call diastasis. In a classic tummy tuck, the loose skin is removed and the separated muscles are tightened. This causes narrowing of the waist, and improvement of the contour of the hips. You’re left with a low scar hidden within the bikini line and another hidden inside the belly button.
Also known as an “abdominoplasty,” Dr. Leopoldo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett offer the tummy tuck to their patients in the Naples, FL area. Along with reducing excess belly skin, the procedure can also restore weakened or separated muscles with the effect of creating abdominals that are both smoother and firmer. While dieting and exercise can tone abdominal muscles, only surgical intervention can remove sagging skin on the stomach and tighten flabby muscles. However, a tummy tuck is no substitute for a recurring exercise regimen.
A tummy tuck is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure that helps patients obtain flatter stomachs by removing loose skin and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. Once healed, patients typically achieve the looks they desire and feel more confident in their appearance.
