Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Atlanta, GA | Dr. Kimberly Singh, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Tummy Tuck Surgery Overview

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to improve abdominal contour by removing excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. Dr. Kimberly Singh and Dr. Abboushi are experienced Atlanta plastic surgeons specializing in personalized body contouring solutions.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Individuals who may benefit from a tummy tuck include:

• Patients with significant weight loss
• Women with stretched abdominal muscles from pregnancy
• Individuals unable to achieve desired abdominal appearance through diet and exercise
• Patients seeking muscle tightening and skin removal

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Standard Tummy Tuck

A standard tummy tuck involves a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen, strategically placed to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. This procedure addresses sagging skin, stretch marks, and muscle laxity while providing comprehensive abdominal contouring.

High BMI Abdominoplasty

Panacea Plastic Surgery offers specialized abdominoplasty for patients across various body types. Dr. Singh and Dr. Abboushi customize procedures based on individual health, anatomy, and surgical goals rather than using strict BMI limitations.

Extended Tummy Tuck

An extended tummy tuck addresses excess skin beyond the front abdomen, extending to the flank area. This technique provides a more comprehensive waistline and body contour, particularly beneficial for patients with significant skin laxity.

Mini Tummy Tuck

For patients with minimal abdominal concerns, a mini tummy tuck offers a targeted approach with a shorter scar, focusing on the area below the navel.

Surgical Considerations

During a consultation, Panacea Plastic Surgery's team will evaluate individual needs, recommend the most appropriate technique, and discuss potential combination procedures such as liposuction or mommy makeover options.

Recovery and Expectations

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Patients typically wear compression garments and should limit strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks. Follow-up appointments and personalized recovery guidance ensure optimal healing and results.

Cost and Financing

Tummy tuck procedures generally range around $11,000, inclusive of pre and post-surgical care. Financing options through CareCredit, Alphaeon, and United Medical Credit are available to make the procedure more accessible.
