Abdominoplasty Miami, FL | Natalia Vidal, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection while tightening underlying abdominal muscles. This transformative technique helps patients achieve a firmer, more contoured abdomen that diet and exercise alone cannot accomplish.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

Candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have excess skin and fat in the abdominal region
• Possess weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Are at a stable weight and in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Tummy Tuck Procedure Options

Natalia Vidal, MD offers multiple tummy tuck techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Full (Standard) Tummy Tuck
• Extended Tummy Tuck
• Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
• Drainless Tummy Tuck

Surgical Expectations

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the specific technique utilized. Patients can expect comprehensive muscle tightening, excess skin removal, and potential liposuction contouring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a tummy tuck requires approximately six weeks, with most patients returning to work within seven to ten days. Results are long-lasting when maintained through a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, patients should be aware of potential complications and follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and results.
