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
Dr. Derrick and his team were absolutely incredible! After having consultations with several other plastic surgeons in the area, I had a consultation with Dr. Derrick wanting to discuss a hernia repair and possible tummy tuck with liposuction. I was incredibly nervous as this would be first surgery ever and he answered all of my questions thoroughly and even gave his opinion on what he would do and more importantly, why. He ended up performing an extended tummy tuck, liposuction and was able to repair my 13 year old hernia. His coordinator was always available to answer any of my questions both before and after my surgery. I am now 6 weeks post-surgery and I LOVE my results. Far exceeded what I thought was possible!
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 🙏🏻
Dr. Derrick and staff exceeded my expectations more than I ever imagined!!! I am unbelievably happy with my results of implant removal and lift! Katie has went above and beyond her job. From checking in on me to answering all my random questions! Dr Derrick listened to all my concerns wants and needs and made my wishes come true of my result expectations and beyond. He made me feel so comfortable about the whole process and results❤️
The environment provided brings complete calm and confidence. Dr. Chase Derrick exemplifies efficiency and proficiency in his procedures and provides a wonderful outcome, I cannot put into more words how happy and satisfied I am with my results. Probably the best decision I’ve ever made!
