With Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Pedersen
What Is A Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck Surgery, formally referred to as Abdominoplasty, is an abdominal surgery option used to tighten, firm and smooth out the stomach area by removing excess skin and fat and then tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Today’s Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is performed much differently than just a few short years ago. Dr. Pedersen uses the newest techniques for performing a drainless (and virtually painless) Tummy Tuck. A “TAP” (or Transversus Abdominus Plane) is an injection of local anesthetic that provides pain control for several days following your Tummy Tuck surgery.
Who Should Get A Tummy Tuck Surgery?
This procedure is the best fit for patients that are already in good health generally but identify their abdomen as a "problem area."
Patients that stand to benefit greatly from a tummy tuck procedure include those with excess or sagging skin from pregnancy or weight loss, a protruding abdomen or excess fat concentrated in the abdomen.
