Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)El Paso, Texas
We all desire a flat tummy but age, child bearing, lack of exercise and weight gain are the enemies in this battle. However, a tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) may be an excellent answer to achieve a flatter stomach. The procedure involves removing both fat and skin, tightening the abdominal wall and usually requires relocating the umbilicus. It is best suited for people with excess fat and skin.
Although abdominoplasty is a more popular procedure for women, Dr. Jabor has performed the surgery on men as well.
This surgery is most often performed under general anesthesia. Since this is a more involved surgery, recuperation usually takes several weeks or even months to see the final results. The length of time for recovery varies greatly depending on the extent of the abdominoplasty and the general physical condition of the patient.
Most patients can return to work from one to three weeks following surgery.
The results of a tummy tuck can remain for many years, if there is no significant weight gain or the patient does not become pregnant. Scars are mostly hidden within the “bikini” line or underwear and are usually inconspicuous.
