Atlanta Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Have you always dreamed about having a flat stomach? Our physical appearance is one measure of our health and vitality, and a flatter tummy is one of those desired attributes. Events such as pregnancy or weight gain followed by weight loss can cause the skin and sometimes the underlying muscles to stretch allowing them not to return to their original shape. If you are tired of trying to get rid of the bulging and excess sagging skin that will not respond to diet and exercise then our board certified plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Center of the South can help by performing an Atlanta abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure, also known as abdominoplasty. In our surgical center, tummy tucks are performed to give back the appearance and self-confidence you deserve. Are you a candidate? Call 770-421-1242 or request a consultation online to find out.
Abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck" surgery, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tighten the abdominal muscles, and improve the appearance and contour of the abdomen. If the loose skin and fat deposits are limited to your lower abdomen, a partial abdominoplasty or "mini-tummy tuck," may be advised. Limited liposuction may also be performed in certain areas if indicated. It is important to discuss your concerns and expectations with your plastic surgeon prior to the procedure so that the best operation and outcome may be planned.
Candidates for Abdominoplasty
Are you a candidate? The best candidates are men or women who are healthy and in good shape, but are bothered by large fat deposits or loose skin around their abdomen that won’t respond to exercise and diet. If you have had multiple pregnancies and your abdominal muscles and skin have stretched beyond the point that they can return to normal, then this surgery is for you. As we age, we lose our skin elasticity and if you are slightly overweight with excess skin, this procedure can greatly enhance your appearance. If you plan on losing a lot of weight or plan future pregnancies, you should postpone the surgery.
