Many patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss or pregnancy struggle with loose skin on their stomachs and may seek out the services of a cosmetic surgeon due to the lack of viable at-home options to treat the condition. Some people who have an otherwise normal body-weight-to-proportion physique can still develop a protruding, loose, or saggy abdomen. The most common reasons for this include aging, heredity, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations, with the tummy tuck being among the most effective means for Naples, FL patients to address the excess belly skin.
Hi, today I wanted to talk to you about the abdominoplasty, or what’s commonly known as the tummy tuck.
During the tummy tuck procedure, excess skin on the lower part of the abdomen is removed and the muscles underneath are tightened to create a nice waist, and to give you a contour that you desire. A tummy tuck has many different variations that we can tailor to each individual patient–can be used in conjunction with liposuction and that will allow you to have a flatter stomach and an improved waistline. If you feel like a tummy tuck is a procedure you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to call for a consultation.
Also known as an “abdominoplasty,” Dr. Paul M. Gardner, Dr. Leopoldo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett offer the tummy tuck to their patients in the Naples, FL area. Along with reducing excess belly skin, the procedure can also restore weakened or separated muscles with the effect of creating abdominals that are both smoother and firmer. While dieting and exercise can tone abdominal muscles, only surgical intervention can remove sagging skin on the stomach and tighten flabby muscles. However, a tummy tuck is no substitute for a recurring exercise regimen.
A tummy tuck is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure that helps patients obtain flatter stomachs by removing loose skin and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. Once healed, patients typically achieve the looks they desire and feel more confident in their appearance.
Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett always initiate cosmetic surgery procedures with a one-on-one consultation to determine the patient’s aesthetic needs and to tailor the procedure specifically to the patient’s unique physique and desired outcome. Our doctors also thoroughly discusses procedure steps, answer all questions, and strive to ease patient apprehension by imparting as much detail about the surgery as possible.
In most instances, our surgeons combine liposuction of the “love handles” with abdominoplasty at no extra cost. They may also recommend that other areas be treated with liposuction.
Tummy tucks represent an invasive surgical procedure, which may lead to complications. Our cosmetic surgeons have extensive training and experience performing successful tummy tuck procedures, and Naples Plastic Surgery has earned a stellar reputation for plastic surgery in the Naples area. Patients will receive a detailed information packet regarding post-operative instructions, thoroughly detailing any actions you may need to take. After patients review our surgeons’ outstanding surgical record, expertise, and before-and-after tummy tuck pictures, they are assured that they are in good hands.
Complete honesty from Dr. Gardner, which I really appreciated. The staff could not have been any more pleasant. I will go back.
Dr Gardner and his staff are exceptional service providers. I had a face and neck lift and was extremely anxious about the entire procedure. I was able to talk to former patients of Dr Gardner and the nurses and Dr Gardner were very reassuring. I stayed overnight at the surgery center afterwards and the nurse was exceptional as was the nurse (Olivia) that picked me up and stayed with me the first day at home. I was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised with how easy the recovery was which I credit to the skills of this surgeon. I was out to dinner 6 days later. I am very pleased with the results and am very glad I went through with the procedure. I highly recommend this practice.
My 3rd procedure with Dr Gardner !! My first was 2014, next in 2016 and this one in 4/2023 . ALWAYS , always treated with the most respect by everyone there and the trust I have for them is everything . I feel like their most important patient before, during and after . Love this team of professionals
