Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Troy, MI | Mune Gowda, MD, FACS - Troy Office

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

Common Causes of Abdominal Concerns

• Pregnancy
• Aging
• Significant weight loss
• Heredity
• Prior surgical procedures

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Traditional Full Tummy Tuck

The traditional or full tummy tuck addresses all three layers of the abdomen: skin, fat, and muscle. This comprehensive procedure removes excess skin between the belly button and pubic region, creating a flatter, firmer, and more sculpted abdomen. The resulting scar is typically concealed behind underwear or swimwear.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is a less extensive procedure focusing on mild excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen, specifically below the belly button. It is ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity and localized concerns.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Firm abdominal skin
• Visible muscle tone
• Flat, sculpted abdomen
• Youthful lower abdomen and navel contour
• Diminished appearance of stretch marks
• Removal of excess, sagging skin

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Patients who consider tummy tuck surgery often struggle with abdominal skin and muscle laxity that does not respond to diet and exercise. Individuals with excess loose skin resulting from significant weight loss or other body changes may be excellent candidates for this transformative procedure.
