ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) HOUSTON, TX | KRISTI HUSTAK, MD

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove
excess abdominal skin, stretch marks, and fat while correcting
separated central abdominal rectus muscles. The goal is to improve the
overall shape of the abdomen, resulting in a tightened, flatter
midsection.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Removes redundant lower abdominal skin
	* Corrects muscle separation
	* Enhances abdominal contour
	* Improves body confidence

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery include individuals who:

 	* Have experienced significant weight loss
	* Have undergone pregnancy
	* Have loose or sagging abdominal skin
	* Cannot achieve desired results through diet and exercise

TUMMY TUCK VS. LIPOSUCTION

While liposuction targets fat removal, a tummy tuck addresses excess
skin and muscle repair. Dr. Hustak often combines both procedures for
comprehensive body contouring.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

During surgery, Dr. Hustak will:

 	* Make a low incision above the pubic area
	* Remove excess skin and fat
	* Tighten underlying abdominal muscles
	* Reposition remaining skin for a natural appearance

PROCEDURE SPECIFICS

The surgery typically takes two to four hours under general
anesthesia. Patients can choose between a full tummy tuck or a
mini-tummy tuck based on their specific needs.

RECOVERY PROCESS

Recovery requires patience and careful following of post-operative
instructions. Patients can expect:

 	* Initial swelling and bruising
	* Wearing a compression garment
	* Limited activity for two weeks
	* Gradual return to normal activities

ABDOMINOPLASTY IN HOUSTON, TX | CHEVRAY PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

Spot reduction in the abdominal area can be challenging, even with
dedicated diet and exercise. Loose skin and persistent fat deposits
around the abdomen may remain resistant to traditional weight loss
methods. Dr. Pierre Chevray offers specialized tummy tuck
(abdominoplasty) procedures for patients in Houston, TX experiencing
skin laxity from genetics, aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.

TUMMY TUCK CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck should be at a stable, healthy
weight with realistic expectations. The procedure focuses on removing
excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles, not serving as a primary
weight loss solution. Patients should be non-smokers with significant
skin laxity from weight loss or pregnancy.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Dr. Chevray offers three primary tummy tuck approaches:

 	* EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK:
 	* TRADITIONAL TUMMY TUCK:
 	* MINI TUMMY TUCK:

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an
outpatient setting. The procedure involves precise skin excision,
muscle tightening, and potential fat reduction. Incisions are
strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, typically hidden
beneath clothing or swimwear.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial recovery within two weeks, with full
results visible after several weeks of healing. A compression garment
assists with swelling management. Complete return to normal activities
and exercise typically occurs around 6-8 weeks post-surgery.

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING

Dr. Chevray understands that each patient's body is unique. Tummy tuck
procedures can be combined with other body contouring techniques like
liposuction or thigh lifts to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
