Both women and men can struggle with specific areas of their bodies. One of the most problematic for removing suborn fatty tissue is the abdominal area. Exercise and diet can help you lose weight, but it cannot pinpoint where to lose weight. When dieting and exercise are no longer creating the results you desire, Advanced Aesthetics in Fayetteville, GA, offers the option of a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty.
It is essential to know that an abdominoplasty is not designed to aid in weight loss. If patients are still losing weight through exercise and diet, our doctors may recommend waiting to have a tummy tuck until you reach your desired goal. This approach allows us to complete one surgical process to shape and flatten the stomach with fat removal and muscle tightening on your desired body shape.
If you are looking for the best abdominoplasty surgeons near you, call Advanced Aesthetics to schedule an appointment with our team.
The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure in Fayetteville that tightens loose skin and removes fatty deposits on the lower to the mid abdominal area while also tightening the abdominal muscles. Depending on the specific issues, including the removal of stretch marks, our surgeons may recommend a mini tummy tuck, which uses a smaller incision.
A reverse tummy tuck removes loose and excessive skin in the upper abdominal area. At the same time, an extended tummy tuck also addresses the fatty tissue and skin over the hips, often called the “love handles.”
A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia. We also use EXPAREL® which blocks the pain for several days. It is recommended to plan for about two weeks of recovery at home after the procedure and avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for up to six weeks.There may be immediately visible differences after tummy tuck surgery, but the full results will take up to six months.
