Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, as the tummy tuck procedure is formally known, is a form of cosmetic surgery that will help you remove excessive fat deposits and flabby skin and tighten loose muscles in your belly. If you are in good overall health and used to be obese or pregnant and now have excess fat or loose skin or muscles in your belly, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck. On the other hand, if you still plan to lose weight or become pregnant, or are a smoker who is not willing to give up smoking for several weeks, a tummy tuck is not a good idea for you.
The cost of this procedure may also be a consideration, as many insurance carriers will not cover the cost of elective surgery. During your initial consultation, Dr. Davis will explain the risks and possible complications and help you decide whether a tummy tuck is the right choice for you.

Tummy Tuck Procedure

The tummy tuck procedure takes three to five hours to complete, and involves an incision across the abdomen and repositioning of the belly button. This produces a slimmer belly, but also results in permanent scarring around the bikini line and up to six weeks of recovery time. Dr. Davis and his staff will help you manage your recovery, and you should be prepared to take a month off work. Most people who make an informed decision to have a tummy tuck are very happy with the results.
