About Overland Park, KS
Overland Park is the largest city in Johnson County and is situated in eastern Kansas, near the Kansas-Missouri border. It has a population of almost 203,000 people, making it the second most populous city in the state, and a median income of around $57,000. It’s part of the Kansas City metropolitan area and is known for its many outdoor recreation areas, including Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens and Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead. The city is also home to the Oak Park Mall, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Overland Park Farmer’s Market.

What is a Tummy Tuck Procedure?
A tummy tuck (also known as an abdominoplasty surgery) is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat and tighten loosened or separated abdominal muscles. It’s typically done to achieve a smoother, firmer, and more toned look to the abdomen.
Whether due to pregnancy or significant weight loss, with the advanced technique Dr. Young uses, you can discover the results you’re looking for. We offer both a traditional tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck.
Tummy tucks are often done alongside liposuction for a complete cosmetic surgery transformation.
Who is a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck Surgery?
If you are struggling with excess skin and fat and/or separated abdominal muscles, you are likely a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. Beyond that, there are some additional criteria Dr. Young and his team follow to determine if this surgical procedure is right for you.
Ideal Candidates for a Tummy Tuck in Overland Park Are:
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
- A nonsmoker or willing to quit before and after the procedure
- At a stable weight
- Not planning on becoming pregnant
Tummy Tuck Benefits
A tummy tuck comes with a wide range of benefits, including the following:
- Firmer appearance: One of the most noticeable benefits of a tummy tuck is a firmer and more toned appearance to the abdomen. When excess skin and fat are no longer there and the muscles are tightened, you can finally have the flatter stomach you’ve been seeking.
- Long-lasting results: The results of a tummy tuck can last for decades. As long as you stick to a stable weight and don’t become pregnant, your results should stick around for a long period of time.
- Boost in confidence: Most patients notice a significant boost in their confidence after their tummy tuck. With a more contoured body, you will love what you see when you look in the mirror.
- Removes stretch marks: While a tummy tuck isn’t directly meant to remove stretch marks, if they are located in the areas where excess skin is being removed, they can be eliminated as well.
- Improved posture: By tightening the abdominal muscles, you may also notice your posture improves, allowing you to sit and stand with less fatigue and muscle strain.
