Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Florida | S. Alexander Earle, MD, FACS

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection while tightening underlying abdominal muscles. This transformative procedure helps patients achieve a firmer, more contoured abdomen that diet and exercise cannot accomplish.

Tummy Tuck Techniques at PURE Plastic Surgery

PURE Plastic Surgery offers multiple tummy tuck techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Mini Tummy Tuck: Targets lower abdomen with minimal intervention
• Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive muscle and skin tightening
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Addresses abdomen, hips, and lower back
• Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck: Ideal for significant weight loss patients
• Drainless Tummy Tuck: Advanced technique with progressive tension sutures

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have excess abdominal skin and weakened muscles
• Are at a stable weight
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

PURE Plastic Surgery performs tummy tucks as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. The surgical process involves removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and potentially repositioning the belly button to create a more aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately six weeks, with gradual improvements in abdominal appearance. Results are long-lasting when maintained through a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
