Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Lincoln

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed to tighten and reshape the abdominal area. Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery specializes in creating a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance by addressing multiple aspects of the midsection.

Procedure Benefits

During the tummy tuck procedure, abdominal muscles are meticulously tightened and excess sagging skin is eliminated. This surgical intervention corrects a protruding belly, leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. The result is dramatically improved clothing fit and enhanced body confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery is well-suited for individuals who meet specific criteria:

• Non-smokers
• Individuals aged 25-65 in generally good health
• Those with no conditions that impair wound healing
• Patients bothered by abdominal appearance
• Individuals with positive, realistic expectations

Surgical Recovery and Expectations

Downtime and Healing

Patients can expect 10-14 days of recovery time. Most tummy tucks are performed as outpatient procedures, with patients returning home a few hours after surgery. Muscle repair represents the most intricate part of the procedure, often accompanied by a sensation of "tightness" post-surgery.

Advanced Pain Management

Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery utilizes Exparel, a long-acting local anesthetic injected during surgery. This innovative approach significantly reduces pain by numbing the surgical area for the first 72 hours after the procedure.

Post-Surgical Care

Patients receive a compression garment to minimize swelling and encourage optimal skin contraction. Specific activity restrictions will be provided to ensure proper tissue healing and optimal surgical results.

Recovery Timeline

Swelling will gradually improve over weeks to months as the body heals. Patients can expect varying degrees of recovery, with personalized guidance from Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery's expert medical team.
