What Is Abdominoplasty?
An abdominoplasty — or tummy tuck — is a surgery that tightens and reshapes your abdominal area. This creates a slimmer midsection and a more youthful-looking appearance and dramatically improves the way clothing fits, which helps you feel more confident.
Tummy tucks are an incredibly popular procedure for both men and women, especially for bodies that are dramatically affected by pregnancy or weight loss.
Why Abdominoplasty at Willis Cosmetic Surgery?
Opting for a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, at Willis Cosmetic Surgery offers several transformative benefits:
- Enhanced body contour: A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles. This procedure is especially beneficial for those who have undergone pregnancy or significant weight changes that have stretched the skin and muscles beyond their natural ability to retract.
- Improved physical comfort: By tightening the abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can also improve posture and alleviate discomfort associated with weakened abdominal muscles, such as back pain.
- Increased confidence and self-esteem: Achieving a flatter, more toned abdominal area can dramatically improve how you feel in your clothes and increase your confidence. Many patients report feeling rejuvenated and more vibrant post-surgery.
- Long-lasting results: When accompanied by a consistent lifestyle of healthy eating and regular exercise, the results of a tummy tuck can be long-lasting. Dr. Willis works not only to enhance your current appearance but also to ensure that you can enjoy your results for years to come.
- Customized treatment plans: Dr. Willis understands that each patient’s body and goals are unique. He offers customized treatment plans tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring results that complement your overall body structure and desired outcome.
What Results to Expect With Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck at Willis Cosmetic Surgery can significantly transform your abdominal profile. Here are the results you can typically expect:
- Flatter, firmer abdomen: The primary result of a tummy tuck is a flatter and more toned abdominal region. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying weakened abdominal muscles are tightened.
- Reduced waistline: Many patients see a noticeable reduction in their waist size and an enhanced contour of their silhouette, especially when combined with liposuction to address love handles or excess flank fat.
- Improved body posture: Tightening of the abdominal muscles during a tummy tuck can also lead to improved posture and reduced lower back pain, as the spine receives better support.
- Minimized stretch marks: While a tummy tuck is not specifically designed to remove stretch marks, any stretch marks in the areas of removed skin will be eliminated along with the excess skin.
- Increased confidence and comfort: With a more appealing abdominal profile, many patients experience a boost in self-esteem and find a new comfort in wearing a wider range of clothing options, including form-fitting styles and swimwear.
