Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Manhasset, NY | Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart, MD
Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery
Obtaining a flatter, firmer midsection is a goal for men and women of all ages. Dr. Arnold Breitbart performs tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, in Long Island and Manhattan to help patients achieve a more attractive midsection by removing excess skin and fat from the stomach area and tightening abdominal muscles.
Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck
Healthy men and women who have tried dieting and exercise and are still unhappy with their abdominal area are good candidates for a tummy tuck. Dr. Breitbart offers abdominoplasty to help people restore their figure after pregnancy, dramatic weight loss, or other factors causing excess skin and flab in the midsection.
Who Can Benefit from Abdominoplasty?
- Individuals with stretched or saggy abdominal skin
- Patients struggling with stubborn stomach fat
- Women post-pregnancy
- Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
Dr. Breitbart performs tummy tuck surgery with a low incision, carefully removing excess skin and fat while tightening muscles. The surgical technique ensures scarring remains hidden by bathing suits or underwear, creating a natural-looking, toned stomach.
Surgical Details
- Performed as an outpatient procedure or with overnight hospital stay
- Approximately one to two weeks recovery time
- Can be combined with other body contouring procedures
Long-Term Results and Expectations
Patients enjoy a firmer, better-toned abdominal region and more sculpted figure after surgery. With proper diet and exercise, abdominoplasty results can be long-lasting and potentially permanent.
Procedure Considerations
Dr. Breitbart recommends being close to ideal body weight for optimal results. Even moderately overweight patients can benefit from the procedure, as it removes excess hanging skin and can motivate further weight loss and fitness goals.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment, following specific care instructions, and gradually returning to normal activities. Dr. Breitbart provides personalized guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.
Recovery Milestones
- Moderate exercise resumed within 1-2 weeks
- Vigorous exercise can start 4-6 weeks post-surgery
