What Is A Tummy Tuck?
Many individuals struggle with sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen that don't seem to improve with exercise or diet. Common causes of this include pregnancy, significant weight loss, and the natural aging process, making it challenging to achieve a firm and slender abdominal profile. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to transform the abdominal area, offering patients remarkable results. Dr. Chase Derrick, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Derrick Plastic Surgery, performs tummy tuck surgeries to meet each patient's specific aesthetic goals. This procedure not only helps in removing excess fat and skin but also tightens the abdominal muscles, providing a more youthful and contoured silhouette. Both men and women can benefit from the enhanced body image and boosted self-esteem that comes with this treatment. For those interested in learning more about tummy tucks and discussing your personal goals, reach out to our team for a consultation at our Plano, TX practice.
How Is A Tummy Tuck Performed?
Tummy tuck surgery is performed using general anesthesia. Dr. Derrick considers various techniques when he performs the surgery, which is customized according to the individual's needs. To start, the incision type is chosen based on the quantity of excess skin. Some patients with severe loose skin might benefit best from an extended tummy tuck. A full or extended tummy tuck makes the incision from hip bone to hip bone, just on top of the pubic region. Some individuals who are concerned with minimal skin laxity may be better candidates for a mini tummy tuck. These patients still benefit from an abdominoplasty but will simply have a smaller scar. Regardless of the type, all tummy tuck procedures at Derrick Plastic Surgery involve the excision of sagging skin and fat removal.

Derrick Plastic Surgery Reviews
I first encountered Dr Derrick in a professional setting and liked how careful he was with his patients. When I discovered recently that one of my 17 year old breast implants had ruptured he came to my mind immediately. After doing a little more research and especially after the initial consultation with him and his staff I was totally comfortable moving forward with an implant exchange with him. I am obviously not nearly as young as was the first go around which is always a worry but everything turned out even better than I had hoped for. I am so so happy with my results. Even more, I really felt like Dr Derrick and his staff appreciated my choosing them and expressed that in the way they (Katie!) greeted us for appointments and and in how they continue to check on how I’m doing and are quick with responses to any questions that I may have. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer if I ever need/want another procedure.
Excellent service thank you doctor plana for making me so beautiful I loved my surgery they have the best nurses also very kind thank you 🙏🏻
I am so pleased with the treatment I received from Dr. Derrick. He is extremely caring and professional. My results are outstanding and I couldn't be happier!!
Dr. Derrick and his staff have been incredibly kind and understanding of what my hopes and dreams were with my breast augmentation. They all cared so much and it made me feel like they were invested in this as much as I was. Dr. Derrick listened and heard me & at first, it was hard to just trust his judgment, but after surgery - there is a reason he is such a highly recommended surgeon. He was an absolute artist and created my masterpiece. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Derrick and his staff because they have been a wonderful and friendly family to have. The care before, during and after surgery is beyond better than someone just having a nice bedside manner to get you to spend money and that’s added to the fact that this has been money well spent!
I’d like to thank Dr.Derrick and the entire staff for such a great experience! I am a breast cancer survivor of 23 years. I had some reconstruction done and didn’t like the turnout so decided to talk to Dr. Derrick instead of going back to my old surgeon. He listened to my requests and executed my wants and needs! He made suggestions and I didn’t even know some of suggestions were possible. I trusted him and I am so extremely happy with the turnout and feel like I’m back to better implants. The staff are kind, caring and compassionate. You feel like family the minute you walk in! I would recommend them to anyone!
