Toned and flat abdominal contour is a hallmark of a youthful and attractive figure. However, due to factors such as genetics, a sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging, loose skin and sagging muscles can develop in the midsection. At pēkomd® in Dayton, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nickolay P. Markov offers tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, to help patients achieve a firmer and flatter abdomen that enhances their overall appearance.
Aesthetic Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery
If diet and exercise have not provided you with the firm and tight abdomen you desire, a tummy tuck might be the solution. Here are some key benefits:
- Smooth, Tight Skin: Weight fluctuations, aging, and lack of exercise can lead to loose or hanging skin in the abdominal area. Tummy tuck surgery removes this excess skin, restoring a smooth and tight appearance.
- Toned Muscles: Muscle laxity can result in a sagging abdomen. Dr. Markov tightens the underlying abdominal muscles to create a firm and toned midsection.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Achieving a flatter and more toned abdomen can boost self-confidence, making you feel more comfortable in tight clothing and swimwear.
Types of Abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck surgery is a versatile procedure that can be customized to meet your specific anatomical and cosmetic goals. Dr. Markov will work closely with you to develop a personalized surgery plan.
Traditional Abdominoplasty
A traditional abdominoplasty, or full tummy tuck, addresses both the lower and upper abdominal areas. A horizontal incision is made above the pubic area to remove loose skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. In some cases, a second incision around the navel may be required to achieve more comprehensive results.
Extended Abdominoplasty
This technique is ideal for those with sagging skin and muscle laxity extending to the flanks or love handles. The incision extends to the flanks, providing dramatic results with a tighter abdominal wall and removal of excess skin from the front and sides.
Partial Abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck)
Focused on the lower abdominal area, this procedure involves a single incision above the pubic line. It removes excess skin and tightens muscles with minimal tissue trauma, resulting in a short and thin scar and a quicker recovery.
Panniculectomy
An additional procedure that focuses on removing the hanging pannus, or apron of skin, that can occur after significant weight loss.
