While liposuction is a good tool to suction out little pockets of fat from our bodies, sometimes that's just not enough. If you're main concern is loose, excess skin hanging from your abdomen area, a tummy tuck might be the best option for you. Whether it's due to pregnancy, extreme weight loss or simply just the effects of aging and gravity, a sagging stomach area is a cause for much self-consciousness for many of us. Luckily for patients in the Bowling Green area, we can give you back the flat tummy and smoother contours that you've been yearning for in one simple procedure.
During the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision from hip to hip, making every effort to hide possible scarring. Not only will he remove the excess fat and skin from your belly, but he will also tighten the underlying muscles, giving you a flatter, leaner, sexier shape. If you need more convincing, tummy tuck before and after pictures are a great tool to use, as they show you the realistic results from other Bowling Green tummy tuck patients before you.
The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an outpatient procedure performed in our Bowling Green area facility. It is typically performed using general anesthesia, and many patients choose to undergo another treatment (such as liposuction) at the same time. As you'll see while browsing tummy tuck before and after pictures, this often yields the best results.
Recovery time for each patient will vary, but most patients report some bruising, swelling and discomfort immediately following surgery. After a few weeks, you'll be able to resume normal daily activities, although it might take longer to see the full results of the surgery. If you're a resident of Bowling Green and you want to learn more about how this procedure can benefit you, or if you want to see some tummy tuck before and after pictures in person, call our offices today to set up your complimentary, one-on-one consultation. We make every effort to create a friendly, warm and professional environment for all of our patients.
