Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Raleigh, NY

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

For both men and women, loose skin and stubborn abdominal fat can be challenging to address through diet and exercise alone. Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging often contribute to changes in the stomach area that cannot be resolved without surgical intervention.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Dr. Glenn Lyle recommends tummy tuck surgery for individuals who:

• Have loose or wrinkled abdominal skin
• Are at a stable, healthy weight
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Are past pregnancy for women considering the procedure

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Reduces excess fat and skin from the stomach region
• Tightens core muscles
• Provides a more toned abdominal appearance
• Potentially improves spine support and stability
• Can alleviate certain back and core-related discomforts

Surgical Procedure Details

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia with customized techniques based on individual patient needs. Dr. Lyle offers multiple approaches, including full tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck, to address specific body contouring goals.

Surgical Techniques

• Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive removal of excess skin and fat
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Less invasive approach with smaller incisions
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Addressing abdomen, upper thighs, and hip areas

Recovery and Expectations

Following abdominoplasty, patients will wear a compression garment and need to rest for several days. Most individuals can resume normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery and exercise clearance around 6-8 weeks.

Potential Procedure Combinations

Many patients choose to combine tummy tuck surgery with complementary procedures like breast enhancement or thigh lift for comprehensive body contouring results.

Consultation and Planning

During your initial consultation, Dr. Lyle will thoroughly assess your unique anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs.
