Tummy Tuck Information

Tummy tuck surgery entails the removal of excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles to create a smoother and firmer abdomen. When performing a full abdominoplasty, Dr. Colyer will make a horizontally oriented incision in the area between the pubic line and naval. The shape and length of this incision will differ upon the degree of correction. If you are primarily dissatisfied with the appearance of the abdominal area below the naval, a mini tummy tuck may be more appropriate for you. This technique requires a short horizontal incision above the pubic area and will provide abdominal muscle tightening below the naval. Liposuction ("lipoplasty"), with or without tummy tuck surgery, may be used in cases where reducing excess abdominal fat is unachievable through the natural means of weight loss.

Depending on your individual situation, Dr. Colyer will examine your target area(s) and help to decide if a full or mini tummy tuck is right for you. During your initial consultation, you may request to see before and after plastic surgery photos featuring Dr. Colyer's tummy tuck results.
