Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Savannah, GA | Meghan K. McGovern, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to contour and reshape the mid-section of the body. Patients often seek this procedure to address persistent abdominal challenges that exercise and diet cannot resolve.

Common Reasons for Tummy Tuck

• Muscle relaxation following pregnancy
• Abdominal changes after cesarean section
• Persistent lower abdominal bulges
• Significant weight loss with excess skin

Procedure Overview

The surgical procedure typically takes three to four hours. During the process, excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdominal area, and underlying muscles are repaired to create a flatter, more contoured profile. The incision is strategically planned to accommodate most bathing suit styles.
