Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Plastic Surgery Procedures Nashville, Tennessee
If you’re bothered by extra weight or a lower abdominal bulge, you may want to consider tummy tuck cosmetic surgery. If you’ve had one or more pregnancies, are embarrassed by your rounded midsection despite diet and exercise, or you’ve lost large amounts of weight after bariatric surgery, we encourage you to consult Board Certified Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier. Through abdominoplasty, Dr. DeLozier shapes a flatter, more contoured and visually satisfying abdomen with tightened ab muscles.
Your Individual Goals
Your tummy tuck procedure goals will be discussed realistically with Dr. DeLozier. Together you will decide which procedures Dr. DeLozier will perform to achieve your desired results.
About Tummy Tuck Cosmetic Surgery
For your comfort and safety, you will be asleep under general anesthesia during your abdominoplasty. Dr. DeLozier will perform one of two tummy tuck procedures: the full abdominoplasty or the partial abdominoplasty (mini-tummy tuck). If you only want to reduce the size of your lower belly, Dr. DeLozier will make an incision along your lower waistline, removing excess fat and skin while tightening your abdominal muscles. If you would like to see more dramatic results, Dr. DeLozier can perform a full abdominoplasty procedure. Though a more extensive surgery, it is also a more thorough and effective technique to reduce your abdomen size. Dr. DeLozier often performs liposuction in conjunction with your tummy tuck.
Recovery
If you have a regular exercise plan, you will heal more quickly. Abdominoplasty is major surgery, so it is natural that getting back to normal may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Scars can take six months to a year to flatten and fade. At that point, they will not show under you clothes or be visible when you wear most swimsuits.
Abdominoplasty Results
Many women feel renewed after tummy tuck cosmetic surgery. They can once again enjoy the contours of a pre-pregnancy body. You won’t have to worry about the discomfort of pants around your middle or the embarrassing belly bulge underneath dresses and skirts. It can be fun and exciting to shop for clothes to show off your lean and shapely tummy. Having the belly of your youth or the belly of your dreams can give you lasting joy and confidence.
