Tummy Tuck
A firm and flat abdomen is the mark of a beautiful and attractive body contour. Tummy tuck when personalized to your needs can help in improving the overall abdominal shape for several years. Tummy tuck can be helpful in tightening and reshaping the abdominal area.
It can also help in achieving a slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. You can dramatically improve the way your clothes fit and look by having a firmer and flatter midsection. This can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
Dr. Gary Motykie will tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess, sagging skin during the procedure. He will correct a protruding belly to leave the midsection better toned and flatter. Tummy tuck is a popular procedure for men and women. In particular, they are recommended for women whose bodies have undergone significant changes from pregnancy or weight loss.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
Types of Abdominoplasty Procedures
Full Abdominoplasty
An incision around the navel and across the lower abdomen is made during a traditional tummy tuck. Dr. Motykie will tighten the muscles and remove excess skin. Liposuction may be used for contouring the abdomen as well. The surgery involves removal of skin from above the navel to the pubic region and is usually performed after obesity, pregnancy or genetic laxity.
Mini Abdominoplasty
A single incision is made in this type of abdominoplasty. The incision can be a few inches in length or spanning the entire abdomen. Dr. Motykie will tighten slack muscles, remove excess skin and use liposuction for refining the area through the incision.
An ideal candidate would have protrusion and laxity below the navel. Mini tummy tuck cosmetic surgery procedure is generally recommended for patients that are in good shape but are unable to achieve their body reshaping goals with diet and exercise alone.
Extended or High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
The incisions can be made longer for addressing the problem if you have excess skin in the hips or love handles. High lateral tension tummy tuck is the first procedure for addressing excess skin following pregnancy or significant weight loss.
The technique makes use of a deep tissue layer for supporting and maintaining the repair. The procedure transfers excess lift over the hip to the thighs for improving contours after a tummy tuck.
Duration of Results
Your results should be permanent provided you don’t put on significant weight or become pregnancy. However, plastic surgery cannot prevent normal aging effects. Tightened skin gets loose with age. However, if you put on a lot of weight following a tummy tuck, the abdominal skin may stretch again.
Likewise, the abdomen muscles will become loose again if you become pregnant. This is why it is recommended to wait until you have finished having children to get a tummy tuck. Dr. Motykie suggests that patients planning on losing weight should focus on attaining a moderate body weight before having the surgery.
