Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Tucson, AZ | James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Adults experiencing droopy skin and stubborn abdominal fat often struggle to reclaim a slimmer stomach through traditional methods. Significant weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can create challenging body contours that diet and exercise cannot resolve. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a specialized body contouring treatment designed to redefine the abdominal region and restore a more youthful physique.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery offers comprehensive advantages for patients in the Tucson area seeking body transformation:

• Stabilizes and strengthens core muscle structure
• Improves spinal support and overall body mobility
• Removes excess fat tissue and skin folds
• Provides a more streamlined abdominal profile
• Potentially alleviates back discomfort
• Enhances overall body confidence

Surgical Procedure Details

Tummy tuck procedures at James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery are performed under general anesthesia. The surgical approach is customized based on individual patient needs. For patients with significant skin laxity, a full tummy tuck involves an incision from hip bone to hip bone, positioned strategically above the pubic region. Patients with minimal skin excess may qualify for a less extensive procedure with a smaller incision.

Surgical Technique

Each abdominoplasty procedure involves precise removal of sagging skin and excess adipose tissue. The technique not only removes unwanted tissue but also tightens underlying musculature, creating a more refined and contoured abdominal appearance.

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who have experienced significant body changes through pregnancy, substantial weight loss, or natural aging processes. Patients should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
