Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, remains one of the most popular body contouring procedures for individuals seeking to transform their abdominal appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Potential tummy tuck patients typically share these characteristics:

• Maintain a healthy, stable body weight
• Possess good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Are non-smokers or willing to stop nicotine use
• Have completed childbearing

Surgical Approach

Dr. Mark Sisco performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia, carefully planning incisions to minimize visible scarring. The procedure may involve muscle tightening, selective fat removal via liposuction, and precise skin redraping to achieve a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile.

Recovery and Results

Tummy tuck recovery typically requires 1-2 weeks of reduced activity. Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising, with final results becoming apparent over 6 months. Maintaining a stable weight helps ensure long-lasting surgical outcomes.

Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction

While liposuction addresses excess fat, a tummy tuck provides comprehensive correction for loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. Dr. Sisco often combines these techniques to achieve optimal body contouring results.
