What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (also known as an abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that is designed to remove excess skin and fat around the abdomen and strengthen and address separated abdominal muscles.
Tummy tucks are often combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures, including liposuction, for a full body transformation.
It should be noted that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss surgery. While it removes skin and fat, patients should already be at or near their ideal weight. It is primarily used after significant weight loss or childbirth.
Who is a Candidate for Tummy Tuck Body Contouring Surgery?
Most of our patients who are struggling with excess skin and fat and/or separated abdominal muscles are good candidates for a tummy tuck. However, there are some criteria Dr. Young and his team stick to to determine if this is the right procedure for you.
Ideal Candidates for a Tummy Tuck in Lee’s Summit Are:
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Nonsmokers
- At a stable weight
