Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Atlanta, GA | James D. Namnoum, MD, FACS

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the lower abdomen after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or other lifestyle changes that result in abdominal wall laxity and skin redundancy.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Reduction of abdominal fat
• Improved body contours
• Flatter, trimmer tummy area
• Reversal of diastasis recti
• Increased self-esteem and quality of life

Candidacy for Tummy Tuck in Atlanta

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty include men and women who:

• Are not planning significant weight loss or pregnancy
• Are in good overall health
• Have stubborn abdominal fat resistant to exercise
• Maintain realistic surgical expectations

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

During the procedure, Dr. Namnoum makes a low abdominal incision to access and tighten stretched muscles and fascia. Deep tissues are repaired using sutures to create a corseting effect, restoring the anatomical relationships typical of youth.

Procedure Variations

Short Scar Tummy Tuck

For patients with minimal skin redundancy, a mini abdominoplasty with a shorter scar may be recommended. This approach is particularly suitable for women experiencing abdominal wall laxity after pregnancy.

Mommy Makeover Integration

Tummy tucks can be combined with other body contouring procedures like liposuction or breast surgeries to create a comprehensive mommy makeover, addressing multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect some initial discomfort, with significant reduction in swelling within one week. Full recovery typically requires four weeks before resuming strenuous activities. The resulting scar is strategically placed to be minimally visible, often concealed by underwear or swimwear.
