Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Red Bank, NJ

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to correct a protruding or sagging abdomen. Dr. John Taylor performs this transformative procedure for patients in the Red Bank area experiencing abdominal changes due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Procedure

The surgical technique extends from the lower rib cage to the pubic bone, potentially incorporating liposuction to address flanks and back contours. For patients with diastasis recti, the procedure can also repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Achieve a tight and smooth abdominal profile
• Restore physical activity capabilities
• Enhance self-confidence
• Improve posture
• Reduce chronic back pain
• Minimize risks of skin-related complications

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

Dr. Taylor performs tummy tucks in fully accredited surgical facilities under general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes 3-4 hours and does not require overnight hospitalization.

Surgical Approach

Depending on individual needs, patients may undergo a full tummy tuck or a mini abdominoplasty. The procedure involves strategic incisions, removal of excess skin and fat, potential muscle repair, and potential belly button repositioning.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial results immediately, with final outcomes becoming apparent after several months. A compression garment supports healing, and most individuals return to work within one to two weeks.
