Tummy Tuck Metairie, LA | Dr. Jules Walters - Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Metairie

At the Modern Plastic Surgery & Medspa, Dr. Jules Walters uses abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, to help both women and men tighten abdominal skin and achieve a dramatically leaner, slimmer look. Loose, wrinkled skin and stubborn fat deposits can be challenging to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery is an excellent option for individuals experiencing abdominal skin laxity due to various factors:

• Significant weight fluctuations
• Aging
• Genetic predisposition
• Previous pregnancies
• Prior surgical procedures

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

The abdominoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with incision size and shape determined by the extent of excess skin. Techniques include:

• Extended tummy tuck for significant skin excess
• Mini tummy tuck for minimal skin laxity
• Combination with liposuction for optimal body contouring

Recovery and Expectations

After the tummy tuck, patients will wear a compression garment to minimize swelling. Initial recovery involves limited mobility, with most patients resuming normal activities within two weeks. Full workout routines can typically be resumed 4-6 weeks post-surgery, pending Dr. Walters' approval.

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Patients considering a tummy tuck after childbirth might explore combining the procedure with breast enhancement surgeries like augmentation or lift, creating a comprehensive mommy makeover approach.

Potential Tummy Tuck Benefits

• Tightened abdominal skin
• Reduced midsection weight
• Improved body contours
• Enhanced self-confidence
