Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) New York, NY | David L. Abramson, MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a sophisticated body contouring surgery designed to remove loose, hanging skin and restore weakened abdominal muscles. Dr. David L. Abramson specializes in transforming patients' silhouettes through this precise surgical technique.

Procedure Overview

Tummy tuck surgery addresses excess skin and fat in the abdominal area that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise alone. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:

• Post-pregnancy skin laxity
• Significant weight loss
• Age-related abdominal changes

Tummy Tuck Techniques

Dr. Abramson offers multiple tummy tuck approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive abdomen reshaping
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Focused lower abdominal correction
• Modified Tummy Tuck: Targeted muscle or skin enhancement
• Male Tummy Tuck: Specialized male body contouring

Ideal Candidates

Suitable candidates for a tummy tuck are typically:

• Close to their ideal body weight
• Experiencing persistent abdominal skin laxity
• In good overall health
• Non-smokers

Procedure and Recovery

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves an incision above the pubic hairline. Recovery requires several weeks, with patients advised to follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing.

Recovery Guidelines

• Wear compression garments as directed
• Limit physical activity for initial weeks
• Maintain a healthy, nutritious diet
• Attend follow-up appointments
