Tummy Tuck in Plano, TX
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.

Dr. Derrick is very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. My friend had implants done and I loved her work. That is what prompted me to book a consult with Dr. Derrick, and I am SO GLAD that I did. I had breastfed two kids for three years, so my breasts were very deflated, saggy, and unsymmetrical. They look amazing now, and I have so much more confidence in my clothes. The staff and Dr. have continued to provide wonderful post-op care and clarification on my progress and questions. I very much recommend this doctor, you will not regret seeing Dr. Derrick!read moreread lessTeresa T.3/27/2025

I had round 1 of my plastics journey in January after massive weight loss his work is INCREDIBLE. My scars are thin and are healing beautifully. I always was scared of looking boxy, and I feel like he did an amazing job of following my contouring and truly making my body look amazing! Dr Derrick and his team were fantastic about following up with me and keeping in touch. I was able to text or email with any concerns and they got back with me ALWAYS within a timely manner (I eventually learned I had to tell them not to answer me if it was after 5 or on weekends if it wasn’t important because they will and they deserve time off too!) I can’t wait for round two. They truly provide what I believe to be holistic service and I’m so grateful for my choice!read moreread lessBrooke L.4/14/2025Mi experiencia con el doctor Chase Derrick fue 10 de 10 un excelente trabajo en diciembre del 2024 me hice un implante de senos muy satisfecha con los resultados era exactamente lo que yo buscaba el tamaño perfecto muy feliz y el personal muy amable aún sigo en mis citas de seguimiento y asta hoy todo está bien muy agradecida con ellos lo recomiendo muy buen cirujanoread moreread lessIris G.4/09/2025
