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.

Tummy Tuck Reviews
Dr. Chase Derrick is hands down the best of the best! He did my Implant Exchange and Tummy Tuck. I am SO happy with my results and want every woman to feel this confident about their bodies. Taylor, his cosmetic coordinator, has been there every step of the way which has been very helpful. The entire team and OR staff were sweet and very knowledgeable as well. I highly recommend Dr. Derrick to anyone seeking plastic surgery!
After losing 130 lbs, I reached out to Taylor at Dr. Derrick's office about some insecurities that I had and the rest was history. My entire experience with them has been top tier to say the least. They both have made me feel comfortable with each step of the process while they listened to my wants and expectations. I am almost 2 weeks post-op now and could NOT be any happier with my results!
I went to see Dr. Derrick for replacement of my breast implants that I had since 2010 and revision of a lower tummy scar. He met and exceeded my expectations. He listened well to what I wanted to do and helped me to make a successful plan of action. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery and consider it a success because he is very gifted and talented in his profession. The whole office atmosphere is amazing and welcoming. It's so nice to see a cohesive office staff. I felt very comfortable and welcome from the consultation up to my post OP visits. Very professional and very good at their jobs. I can't thank you enough Dr. Derrick. It has been a great experience. I would recommend him to those seeking self improvement.
Dr. Derrick is amazing. I’ve had three surgeries that he’s performed: breast lift, augmentation and a tummy tuck and I couldn’t be happier. He explained that he preferred doing the lift and augmentation as separate surgeries to cut down on complications and to give the body time to heal. I interviewed another doctor, before making my decision, and asked about the 2 surgeries and they said ideally 2 surgeries is the way but they can’t talk their patients into doing it that way. That answer made me pause and question whether the doctor was doing what’s best for the patient or what was best to keep that person as a patient. Dr. Derrick is very honest even if it means talking you out of a procedure that he feels isn’t needed. This is the kind of doctor you want!! You want a doctor that won’t perform unnecessary surgeries because he sees you as a dollar sign instead of a person. He has a great bedside manner and a caring staff but most importantly he’s an absolute GENUIS in the OR. I’m in love with my results and the scars are undetectable. Highly recommend. 10/10
Dr. Derrick is the ultimate professional and expert. Both he and his team were kind and informative about my procedures. They even called and checked on me a few times the first week after my surgery! I absolutely love my results! I definitely recommend Dr. Derrick and his team!
