Tummy Tuck Plano TX

Tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty") is a surgical procedure designed to tighten an individual's abdominal muscles as well remove excess skin and fat from this area. If you have tried diet and exercise and have yet to see desirable results, you may wish to consult qualified tummy tuck surgeon Natan Yaker, M.D. - a Plano, TX tummy tuck professional at Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Texas. Serving the Plano, McKinney, and Frisco area, Dr. Yaker will help to decide if tummy tuck surgery is right for you.

The Abdominoplasty Procedure

A tummy tuck procedure can help a woman achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen, while slimming her waistline. Dr. Yaker typically performs this procedure by making an incision across the lower abdomen (from hipbone to hipbone), just above the pubic region, as well as around the naval. The skin will then be separated from the abdominal wall and lifted up above the rib cage; the underlying muscles are strengthened and the excess skin is removed. Dr. Yaker will also create a new opening for the navel.(Woman who have minimal excess fat and skin in the lower abdominal region may be better suited for a mini tummy tuck.)

Should excess fat in the abdomen, waist, and flanks exist, liposuction ("lipoplasty") and tummy tuck surgery may be combined. When body contouring surgery procedures are performed together on a woman who is unhappy with her post-pregnancy shape, this is often referred to as a "Mommy Makeover," which may involve such procedures as breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty") and/or a breast lift ("mastopexy").
