 

TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY) STAMFORD, CT | DR. CHANG SOO KIM, MD |
PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to address aesthetic concerns in the abdominal
region. Patients who maintain an active lifestyle may still struggle
with sagging skin, excess fat, or stretched abdominal muscles due to
factors like weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging.

DR. KIM'S ADVANCED LIPO-ABDOMINOPLASTY TECHNIQUE

Dr. Chang Soo Kim specializes in a sophisticated lipo-abdominoplasty
technique that goes beyond traditional tummy tuck procedures. This
approach incorporates comprehensive liposuction of the upper and
central abdomen, as well as the flanks, creating a more refined and
contoured result.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

 	* Patients with stretched or separated stomach muscles (diastasis
rectus)
	* Individuals experiencing loose skin from weight changes
	* Patients near their ideal body weight with persistent abdominal
concerns
	* Those seeking to address pregnancy-related body changes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The abdominoplasty procedure is typically performed under general
anesthesia in an outpatient surgical setting. The comprehensive
process involves precision liposuction, strategic incision placement,
muscle repair, and skin tightening to achieve optimal aesthetic
outcomes.

SURGICAL STEPS

 	* Administration of tumescent fluid to reduce bleeding
	* Targeted liposuction using a thin cannula
	* Horizontal incision along the lower abdomen
	* Muscle repair and tightening
	* Skin repositioning and excess removal
	* Precise suturing and placement of temporary drains

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from abdominoplasty is a structured process with gradual
return to normal activities. Patients can typically return home the
same day and begin light activities within weeks, with full recovery
and unrestricted exercise possible around six weeks post-surgery.

RECOVERY MILESTONES

 	* First week: Walking with slight flexion, pain management
	* Two weeks: Resuming driving and desk work
	* Three weeks: Initiating light exercise
