What Is A Tummy Tuck?
A flatter, firmer stomach can boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Many people struggle with excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles that don't respond to diet or exercise. A tummy tuck can help address these concerns, creating a smoother, more contoured abdomen. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. This surgery also tightens the underlying muscles, resulting in a firmer and more toned midsection. Many individuals choose a tummy tuck after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or as part of their overall body contouring goals. Schedule a consultation at Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. in Centerville, OH to start planning your tummy tuck.
How Does A Tummy Tuck Work?
During tummy tuck surgery, your surgeon will make a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen. This incision is carefully placed to ensure the tummy tuck scar can be easily concealed under clothing or swimwear. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened to improve core strength and stability. In some cases, a small second incision around the navel may be required to reposition the belly button for a natural appearance. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 – 3 hours, depending on the complexity. After surgery, your surgeon will provide detailed instructions for tummy tuck recovery, including how to care for your incisions, manage discomfort, and gradually return to your normal activities.
What Are the Benefits of A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck offers both functional and aesthetic improvements. It can address a wide range of concerns, leaving you with a smoother, more sculpted abdomen and the following advantages:
- Removes excess skin and fat for a slimmer appearance
- Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Improves posture by strengthening the core
- Reduces the appearance of stretch marks on the lower abdomen
- Enhances self-confidence and body image
- Complements other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results
Tummy Tuck Reviews
I had a tummy tuck 7 weeks ago and absolutely love my results. Dr. Fox did an amazing job. I'm so happy that I made the decision to have this procedure.
I have had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and I was able to show off my new body this summer and I am so grateful for all the staff nursed and my doctor (Dr. Schmidt) for everything they’ve done, I will and have recommended people to PSD!! Thank you again <3
I am 6 weeks post-op from abdominoplasty (w/ lipo of the flanks) and mastopexy with Dr. Schmidt. He is an incredible surgeon who provides beautiful results. All of my pre-op and post-op appointments were on time and concise. Dr. Schmidt and the entire team at PSID value patients’ time. I’m incredibly grateful for the gifts of Dr. Schmidt and his team.
Dr. Hedrick and his staff are awesome! Dr. Hedrick did an excellent job on my tummy tuck, liposuction, and muscle repair. I will most definitely go back for more plastic surgery.
I cannot speak enough good about my experience. I was so unsure for so long to do something for me, and I regret nothing. My husband and I came to our consultation with Dr. Fox for abdominoplasty and a breast lift. He came in wearing nice street clothes (huge anxiety reducer-huge) and very much to the point with all information . We decided on our way home, he’s it. He’s real. Surgery was great. He wanted to be sure all was okay and gave his personal number to my husband to text in the morning. Also brought me in when I had a concern ( was not his fault, sometimes things just happen). Nothing major at all. I love my results. If it’s only going to get better from October, I’m already floored. Dr Fox, the staff, the nurses, everything…I’d do it all again tomorrow.
