The typical patient that presents for abdominal contouring complains of extra skin, extra fat, a stretched or loose abdominal wall(diastasis), stretch marks, and/or poor lower abdominal skin quality. These conditions are often results of pregnancy or weight loss. Some patients complain that they can’t see their belly button and others that their clothes don’t fit properly. The abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure addresses all of these issues.

Next, the excess skin and fat is removed. Usually, this results in removal of all of the skin and fat from just above the belly button down to the incision. This discarded skin tends to contain most or all of the stretch marks and often is inelastic and of poor quality. The upper abdominal skin, which is usually of better quality, more elastic and without stretch marks, is stretched to the lower incision. The closure technique further contours the flanks in order to create a pleasing hour-glass figure in women or a V-shape in men. Finally, the belly button is recreated in an ideal position.
Depending on a patient’s goals, high definition liposuction can be used to highlight the muscular contours of the abdominal wall in order to achieve a more athletic core.
Actual Patient Testimonials Following Tummy Tuck:
“I’ve had an amazing experience with Dr. Ronan and his staff. They are all very knowledgeable and caring. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction done a year ago. I’m so happy with the results! After having two children, I didn’t think I would ever wear a bikini again. now I’m able to wear a bikini with confidence! I highly recommend Dr Ronan!”

With the use of a pain block, pain after surgery is significantly reduced and in some cases eliminated. Abdominoplasties are often combined with other procedures discussed in consultation, such as liposuction of the lower back or thighs, or a breast augmentation and/or lift. Depending on the type of work, most patients are ready to return with 1-2 weeks.
