Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Las Vegas, NV

About Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to augment and contour the abdominal area. This transformative surgery is particularly beneficial for post-bariatric patients and women who have experienced significant body changes through pregnancy.

What Does a Tummy Tuck Accomplish?

Abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin while restoring weakened abdominal muscles. The procedure creates a smoother, firmer abdominal profile by addressing cosmetic concerns that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone.

Key Benefits of Abdominoplasty

• Repairs stretched abdominal muscles
• Tightens loose skin around the midsection
• Restores an aesthetically pleasing body contour
• Improves overall body proportion

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

Dr. Mustafa Ahmed performs tummy tuck procedures under general anesthesia, typically taking approximately three hours. The surgical approach involves creating strategic incisions to remove excess skin and fat while repairing underlying muscle structures.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of 10-14 days, with gradual improvement in swelling and incision appearance. Final results become increasingly apparent over several months as the body heals.

Patient Candidacy

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are individuals who:

• Are within 20-30 pounds of their target weight
• Have stable body weight
• Are not planning future pregnancies
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Ahmed often combines tummy tuck with liposuction to enhance overall body contouring results. For comprehensive body transformation, patients might consider a Mommy Makeover, which addresses multiple areas affected by pregnancy and weight changes.
