Tummy Tuck
Duration
3 hours
Abdominoplasty at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the underlying rectus muscle fascia to create a firmer, flatter abdominal contour. The procedure is particularly effective for patients who have experienced muscle separation (diastasis recti) following pregnancy or significant weight loss. Liposuction of the flanks is commonly performed simultaneously to refine the waistline. A mommy makeover combining tummy tuck with breast procedures is offered as a single operative session.
About this treatment
Tummy tuck surgery — technically known as abdominoplasty — at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute under Dr. Sam Jejurikar is one of the most transformative body contouring procedures available for patients who have excess abdominal skin, weakened abdominal wall musculature, or both, following pregnancy, major weight loss, or natural aging.
The standard full abdominoplasty addresses three distinct anatomical components that diet and exercise cannot correct. First, rectus abdominis diastasis — the midline separation of the paired vertical abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy — is repaired by plicating the fascial sheath between the muscles along the entire vertical extent of the abdomen, from the xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis. This muscle tightening alone can produce…
Liposuction of the lateral flanks, waist, and hips is frequently performed concurrently with abdominoplasty to refine the overall torso silhouette and maximise the waist-to-hip definition that a tummy tuck alone does not address. For patients with concerns limited to the area below the umbilicus and a smaller degree of skin excess, a mini-abdominoplasty can address the lower abdominal pouch with a shorter scar and less recovery.
