Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) In Newman
An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a popular procedure for both women and men living in or near Newnan, GA. While generally completed in one procedure, our board certified plastic surgeons will review each patient’s goals and make a determination as to the best method to achieve the desired results.
Tummy tuck surgery can be combined with other procedures to address all areas of concern for the patient in one treatment. This is an effective way to reduce overall recovery time and the total cost of getting the ideal look.

The goal of any abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure is to remove loose or excessive skin and stubborn fat on the lower abdominal area that is not responding to exercise and diet. These procedures are not used for weight loss.
There are different options in the tummy tuck, including a mini tummy tuck, which uses a smaller incision. An extended tummy tuck includes fat and skin removal over the hips on the “love handles.” The reverse tummy tuck is designed to remove fat and excessive skin from the upper abdomen.
For the skin and fat removal needed, an abdominoplasty is completed under general anesthesia. We use EXPAREL, an injection that helps to continue to block pain for days after the procedure. You will also receive prescription pain medication and can use over-the-counter medications to treat pain after the initial few days of recovery.
Patients in Newnan, GA, should plan for two weeks of time off work and limited daily activities until our doctors clear them to return to light activities and work. We recommend avoiding any strenuous activities for six weeks after the procedure. Patients may see some initial results right away, but the full results of the procedure are visible after complete healing and recovery, which can take up to six months.
