Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

Tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to remove excessive soft tissue from the lower abdomen while tightening underlying muscular structures. This advanced technique addresses abdominal bulging caused by abnormal muscle stretching and excess skin accumulation.

Procedure Indications

English Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center recommends tummy tuck surgery for patients experiencing:

• Significant soft tissue laxity in abdominal region
• Muscle wall stretching and weakness
• Persistent lower abdominal fat deposits
• Potential medical symptoms like low back pain or skin irritation

Mini Tummy Tuck Technique

The mini tummy tuck specifically targets lower abdominal regions challenging to tone through traditional diet and exercise. This technique trims and tightens skin and tissues below the naval, resulting in a smoother, more contoured stomach profile.

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. English performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia at the surgical facility in Little Rock. The comprehensive procedure may involve belly button repositioning and strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Post-Operative Expectations

Patients can anticipate moderate swelling peaking within 72-96 hours after surgery. Approximately 80% of swelling resolves within four to six weeks, with complete resolution occurring over four to six months.

Recovery Recommendations

• Rest in a reclining position for initial two weeks
• Sleep on back to minimize complications
• Reduce dietary salt intake
• Perform hourly lower extremity movements
