Raleigh Tummy Tuck Procedures
When workouts and diet are not leading to the flat stomach you are working for, abdominoplasty may the right solution for you! Also called a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty performed by board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Ortiz, involves removing excess skin from the abdomen and tightening the muscles that have become weak or separated. This procedure often reduces or eliminates sagging around the stomach and belly, creating a more defined, flatter midsection.
Understanding the Tummy Tuck
Many factors can lead to a sagging, distended, or prominent belly, including pregnancy, age, previous surgeries, and even weight loss. When this happens, diet and core exercises like crunches often aren't enough to restore a flat, firm midsection. Fortunately, a tummy tuck can help you achieve the physique you want! The procedure is done by first making an incision in the lower abdomen, and, if necessary, a secondary incision around the belly button to is made to remove excess skin. After the incisions are in place, our Raleigh plastic surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles and puts the skin over the midsection back into place, taking care to eliminate any excess. Finally, the incisions are closed, though, in cases where a larger amount of skin is removed, a new space for your belly button needs to be formed. The final result is stomach and abdomen that is toned, firm, and more contoured. Dr. Ortiz will sit down with you during a comprehensive, personalized consultation to walk you through the procedure and how to best achieve your goals.
