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.
