Atlanta Tummy Tuck Specialists – Artisan Plastic Surgery
The surgeons of Artisan Plastic Surgery have helped many Atlanta tummy tuck patients. Please read more about the procedure below and visit our photos section to view the results achieved by Atlanta tummy tuck patients.
What is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
The tummy tuck is designed reshape the abdomen by removing excess fatty tissue and loose sagging skin, and tighten the abdominal muscles. The result is a smoother, flatter, more youthful abdominal profile. The incision is placed within or just above the pubic area and is hidden within your swimsuit lines.
Who is a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery?
Good candidates for the abdominoplasty are patients who have exercise and diet resistant accumulations of fat and sagging skin and/or abdominal muscles that have been weakened by age or pregnancy.
What is the recovery like from a tummy tuck?
The side effects of the surgery include temporary swelling, bruising and numbness of the abdominal wall. Most of my patients are up and walking the day following the surgery, but generally require 2 to 3 weeks before returning to work. I advise against heavy lifting or vigorous activity for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
In addition to treating Atlanta tummy tuck patients, the surgeons of Artisan Plastic Surgery have also helped many Atlanta liposuction and thigh/buttock lift patients. Please visit these pages to learn more about the other body contouring procedures offered.
